Hiatus.

A TBC VCR has been secured, which means even higher quality transfers in the future. Uploads will continue on an irregular basis.

Future channel plans:

· Video essays
· Interviews
· Watch parties

Thanks for watching!

Surrealism In Motion

Hi everyone, we've set up a Ko-Fi on the off-chance of improving the channel via donations. We are hoping to get a better VCR for even higher quality transfers of these ultra-rare films. If anyone would consider donating to this service, we would appreciate it and be able to grow.

We have literally dozens of VHS and DVDs full of rare animations, but we can't fully commit to getting them online in our current position due to other commitments. We have already spent plenty of our own money already on good quality equipment and endless hours learning to transfer these rare gems.

Much love to anyone even viewing the channel, let alone those who would consider donating to keeping S.I.M. alive. Bless up.

Today is my birthday. Tonight's plan is a first watch of DVDs containing David Anderson animations, as well as checking out a recently bought home-recorded VHS titled "ANIMATIONS" and "Creature Comforts Awards". Anything could be on it, hopefully gold. This is one thrill of being a treasure hunter. Another is sharing it with you.

Thanks to all diehards who have been watching the latest uploads. It makes me happy that you enjoy the other side of animation. I've also added playlists to the channel for more comfortable browsing of the library.
