Animation Styles

I have collected a few a videos of the sort of animation I would like the bee keeper to look like, obviously these films have been produced by studios with huge teams of incredibly talented people and also huge budgets - both of which this production lacks but its the inspiration that comes from seeing these, is what will keep this idea moving forward.

I have also been looking at the process for character creation in animated films, I have done lots before but as I have never made a 3D animated film some of the information is incredibly helpful. Also it's great to look at how artists create mood and how lighting is crucial to setting up a scene. So this website is brilliant for looking at particular parts of the process.
