Daniel Thomas MacInnes is posting some of the great experimental animated shorts via YouTube and his site.
Stan Vanderbeek, Oskar Fishchinger, and plenty of John & James Whitney films (scroll down) appear on this excellent site which is devoted to Ghibli films. While there, if you have the time, take a look at some of the Ghibli rarities.

Floyd is absolutely right. The last thing we need is another white asshole in office.
America, however, won’t be really free until we have a gay black atheist president.
