“Weird YouTube” owes a lot to Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. It spawned shows like MTV’s Liquid Television.


Completely agree here. They were showing animation like this in the 90s.


But (thank god) the internet opened it up so anyone with the ideas and motivation to put together a video can get their art out there.

Best thing about the internet, IMHO.


Still remember seeing the first episode of Æon Flux on late night MTV when I was 13. Good stuff


Aeon Flux is wonderful. About 20 years ago Peter Chung curated his favorite episodes for some animation festivals. Pity it never was released on Blu-Ray from what I can find via the Blu-Ray.com forums.


Guessing you mean you want a hard copy, but it's on Paramount+ at least if you want to watch it.


You can watch them for free on MTV's site @ https://www.mtv.com/episodes/scyb0g/aeon-flux-utopia-or-deut...


The fly in the eye is forever burned in my memory.
