Over the weekend I fell in love with these short animated films by the cartoonist Nina Paley, based on Sita's story in the great Indian epic the Ramayana. They're set to the music of the 1920s American jazz singer Annette Hanshaw (whom I had not knowingly listened to before, and who has a lovely voice). The combination is utterly charming.
The original link is via BoingBoing, and there are bit.torrents (erm, whatever they are) available via Sepia Mutiny, both very cool sites in their own right.
