"The Animation Show" is a collection of animated shorts that was originally released as a US tour by Don Hertzfeldt and Mike Judge. Here's what thedigitalbits.com has to say about the set:

I have two picks of the week. The first is The Animation Show: Volume One. Based on the successful theater revue created by animation greats Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeld, this DVD collects a vast majority of the shorts featured in the theater presentation (save for the ones that may already be on DVD in other forms, like Hertzfeld's Rejected and Tim Burton's Vincent). The DVD is huge as far as I'm concerned, and does a great service for both filmmakers and fans of cartoon shorts. This first volume gives us some really wonderful animation along with nice extras including audio commentaries from some of the filmmakers, deleted material, pencil tests, art galleries, storyboards and making-of explanations. But it's all about the toons with this set, and considering this release is coming from animators, there's a lot of love packed on this disc. Get yourself a copy today.
