I don't know why, but I'm stuck on animated skeletons lately. It's like my fascination with giant killer robots. Anyway, here is one of my favorite short animations called, "Starving in the Belly of a Whale", sung by Tom Waits and animated by Gal Shkedi.
I really like the stylized characters and the cutout figures. The storyline of the animation also does not follow directly with the lyrics, but instead compliments the lyrics.
The following YouTube video has some artifacts in the very beginning. These clear up about twenty seconds in:

Speaking of Skeletons
Viva Calaca!! - The new Oingo Boingo
I found this on YouTube. It sort of reminds me of 80's group Oingo Boingo's, "It's a Dead Man's Party." The animation is just great and authentic. I like the old-style type cutouts. Well, anyway - watch and enjoy.
Viva Calaca!! is an animation project by Ritxi Ostáriz (iikki.com) based on the Mexican Day of the Dead. Original music by Voltaire (voltaire.net). - From YouTube
