Well hello weary travelers from near and far, shall we take a journey back through time?
We shouldn't forget the animators who made this community what it is today, the purpose of this list is to inspire each animator here to be the best that he can be to never get lazy and never lose hope, because with time and effort, you can make it! We are always talking about them, always remembering them, but for how long before their recognition goes unannounced?
Here is a list of animators who have inspired all of us to do what we are doing today, a list of animations that we can watch over and over again and never lose interest and never lose inspiration, and a list of collaborations; where these animators have worked together to create something big, something memorable. So watch, and never forget.
Some of these animators are better than the other, but that doesn't mean that these individuals don't deserve a slot on this list.
(I know many users that are on the list are still active today, these were my intentions.)

What about Rythm?

odd thing is, i have his animation up there, but not his name... it's difficult to organize a big list like this and include everyone, thanks though :)

No problem.

Interesting to see my name up there.
Almost forgot half the users on that list, great to see some of their stuff again.
