While others may contest that the only twins worth giving a damn about are Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzeneggar, ArtsWom rejects such narrow-minded opinionating and loudly celebrates all uterus-sharing siblings – with our focus today landing on identical twins, the Quay Brothers.

As reported on Animation Ramblings, the influential American-born, stop-motion animators will be sharing their melancholic and darkly atmospheric short films with Sky Arts viewers over the coming months – next showing is This Unnameable Little Broom on Sunday 20 Jan at the suitably bleak time of 1:00am.

To get you in the mood for some animated inspiration, ArtsWom would like to share the YouTube playlist’s of Animation Ramblings’ writer, Fleacircusdirector. One is a collection of thirty of his favourite animated clips and the other is a collection of moments taken from his very own short film, The Flea Circus. Roll up, roll up.
