Check out Cal Arts past animation showcases, they go back to 2004 and then have a 20 year retro film. I have not watched them all, but they have some really cool work and is worth checking out. Some amazing talent has emerged from Cal Arts since it opened and it is one of the harder schools to get in to. Last time I checked, it had an over 33% acceptance rate and I am not too sure what it is for the animation department; it is just really tough to get into.

The School of Film/Video is one of the nation's premiere colleges for studying the art of the moving image. It is singularly devoted to filmmaking as a personal, independent art form. The School is especially unique in that it promotes the studies of all major types of filmmaking: dramatic narrative, documentary, experimental live-action, character-based animation, experimental animation, multimedia, and installation. We offer four challenging programs, each one with its own specialized curriculum focusing on specific areas in filmmaking. At the same time, all four share an ethos for combining rigorous practical training with theoretical inquiry, hands-on production with aesthetic reflection.
