Cartoon Brew published a second collection of animated shorts made during the COVID-19 lockdown. The films did not all address the pandemic directly, but each was produced under lockdown conditions by different artists using varied drawing and animation styles.
Titles such as Metres Apart, Quarantine Kat and Eyesolation signalled the shared context. Quarantine of the Damned! Part I: Mummy took the more deranged route, folding toilet-paper hoarding into a stop-motion horror comedy.
The collection remains a snapshot of independent animation made under unusual constraints. Artists should check the original creators’ pages for current availability and rights.
