SHORTSHD ACQUIRES OSCAR NOMINATED ANIMATION ICON BILL PLYMPTON’S ENTIRE LIBRARY OF SHORTS AND FEATURE FILMS

Bill Plympton will be at San Diego Comic Con this week (and so will we) where he will not only be manning a booth, but will be presenting a panel where he will show off all things Cheatin’. However, Bill will probably have another huge announcement on tap as about a month ago, ShortsHD had put out a press release that they have acquired Bill’s entire collection of films and shorts and will be distributing globally on all Shorts TV and HD platforms.

According to the press release:

Plympton has built an amazing and loyal fan base through the years and his catalog has been heavily sought-after.  In tandem with the Plympton catalog acquisition, ShortsHD is also launching a brand new series of specials surrounding short filmmakers who use shorts as stepping stones to features titled Shorts To Features.

Plympton’s works will be showcased on ShortsHD in the U.S. and on ShortsTV in the EMEA territories this fall. Plympton is supporting the project by shooting intros and outro segments to tie in with his shorts and features. In addition, iTunes and Amazon Instant Video will launch the entire catalog globally later this year.
