The Monster Of Nix (2011) - cclark - 02-03-2022
The Monster Of Nix is the animated short that Terry Gilliam and Tom Waits lent their voice talents to (quite a while back) and it's on YouTube.
Screen Rant recently posted a write-up of the film.

Makes you wonder why Gilliam doesn't make the actor more often, really.
Also note that the widow of Rosto the director, Suzie Templeton (also a famous animation director) will direct the sequel "Return to Nix", now in production :

Thanks for sharing. Highly eccentric with beautiful design and animation.

From Rosto, I recommend also "Thee Wreckers Tetralogy", a dark series of fantasy shorts, more personal than "Nix" and clearly more for adults, which can also be watched as separated videos, if you find them.
I love this one, more like a music video :

Hi
That was quite extraordinary! Highly original and darkly beautiful. I can see the kinship with Gilliam and the tumbling fluidity and editing reminded me of Valentina’s and Mister Nicks mirror tango in Parnassus.
Thanks for sharing.
