If you’ve ever wondered how food and everyday objects feel about being squeezed, sliced, or performing their own mundane tasks — then look no further than these animations by Sean Charmatz.
The Secret World of Stuff is a series of objects in action and, by adding a face and simple animation, they come to life and emote. Sometimes the result is good (smiley face) and sometimes the anthropomorphic objects are ingested or destroyed (sad face, or no face at all). Check them out below.

Breakfast burritos are atop the food chain. They improve mornings and give us an excuse to add a third burrito to our daily regimen.
ParryGripp, makers of such catchy classics as TACOCAT and Burrito Van, is back with Yum Yum Breakfast Burrito. As expected, the short film includes a smiling breakfast burrito, dancing to a tune that will surely be stuck in your head all week. Sometimes a burrito will clear that up.

We’ve certainly had our fill of anthropomorphic food and animated movies. However, we’ve never seen CG foods with foul mouths starring in a veritable horror film.
Sausage Party is the adult animated movie we didn’t know we needed. Its protagonist is a sentient hot dog voiced by Seth Rogen who, along with other foods, quickly discover their post-supermarket fate.
Animated horror and excessive cursing ensues. See the red band trailer below (NSFW).

Brought to us by multimedia artists, Skullmapping, is a fun animation series that unfolds right at the dinner table.
Le Petit Chef sees our tiny protagonist incorporate actual and projected tableware to deliver complete, albeit animated, meals to diners. This, after struggling with full-size ingredients, as well as having to fight off a sea monster or two.
Check out Le Petit Chef grill up some steaks and prepare a Bouillabaisse in the videos below.
