- Pixar Animation Studios
Description:
“Artificial Stupidity” introduces “Floyd the Android,” the first character in the world of Stupix Animation, which is dedicated to the revival of live physical comedy traditions in animation. Floyd is a minimum-wage robot, and in this short he gets carried away with a toy teleporter and winds up in a fix. But Floyd always gets away clean.
Believing all animators should continuously develop skills and experiment with tools, Stupix Animation is the personal work of professional animator Jonathan Lyons, with assistance from some top industry talent.
Look for Floyd to return in the future for further misadventures.
