Zodiac Race by PandaPanther

NY animation studio PandaPanther, whose work I quite enjoy, completed a quirky three-minute short called Zodiac Race for the Onitsuka Tiger line of Japanese shoe company Asics. It celebrates the company's 60th anniversary with the re-telling of the Zodiac Race Legend. A director's cut of the film can be seen on the PandaPanther website along with a 'making of' video that gives a sense of how they combined miniature backgrounds with the CG characters.

Here is more about the project from PandaPanther:
