A mind blowing interactive story by Moonbot Studios. I saw this before with other interactive apps/books for the iPad, but now the technology is falling into place with amazing endeless possibilities. Oh the possibilities...
It makes me want to buy an iPad! :D

Books: Character Animation Crash Course
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1879505975
I leave you with a book written by Eric Goldberg, which I did enjoy reading a lot. It covers animation basics to more advanced animation techniques, that even thought are explored for the traditional medium it can be used for other types of animation as well. Is very well written and with very good visual reference. It brings a CD with animated clips that are analized in the book.

Books and more books!!
There's a few books which I recommend to read to anyone interested in animation.
I red almost all of them, which made me view animation in a more professional, but fun way. They are also spread around different areas that is useful for understanding animations principles.
