Animated Duel of the Fates
Remember that leaked Colin Trevorrow script for the ninth Star Wars episode? Mr. Sunday Movies went and made an animated version of the interesting parts of it! It's only six minutes long, and then there's some concept art from the movie that never was, and then some clips of the rough draft and the animation process for the cartoon. (via Cracked)
CONCATENATION
According to Merriam-Webster, concatenation is "a group of things linked together or occurring together in a way that produces a particular result or effect" or else the process of linking those things. The experimental film CONCATENATION by Donato Sansone strings together all kinds of film clips that have only one thing in common: motion. Placed just right in sequence, they remind one of a chain-reaction domino fall, marble run, or Rube Goldberg machine. It's a lot of clips, but they move so fast the video still comes in at less than a minute. Genius! (via Colossal)

The Wizard of Oz 1933
This animated early version of the The Wizard of Oz was never released in theaters because it was filmed in Technicolor, but didn't get a release from the Technicolor Corporation. The use of black-and-white in the Kansas scenes and color in Oz was later used in the live-action film of 1939, but the story is quite different. Read more about the production at Wikipedia.
