    I just noted this: despite these videos already being hosted for 4.5 years already, they can still be taken down tomorrow - how sad.

    PBS arts series Off Book investigates the phenomenon of 8-bit art & music,
    tracing it from its roots in the video games of the 1970s:

    The idea of 8-bit now stands for a refreshing level of simplicity and minimalism,
    is capable of sonic and visual beauty, and points to the layer of technology that
    suffuses our modern lives. No longer just nostalgia art, contemporary 8-bit artists
    and chiptunes musicians have elevated the form to new levels of creativity and cultural reflection.

    [One year ago] Walt Disney Feature Animation announced a new CG feature
    "Wreck-It Ralph" to be directed by The Simpsons’ Rich Moore.


    Says Moore: “I love the idea of a very simple 8-bit video game character
    struggling with the complex question: ‘isn’t there more to life than the role
    I’ve been assigned?’ In his quest for the answer, we journey with our hero
    through three visually distinct video game worlds. It’s unlike anything anyone’s
    seen before, and I’m thrilled to be to creating it here at Walt Disney Animation Studios.”
