Gas Planet by Eric Darnell (1992)

Gas Planet features bizarre alien creatures consuming bizarre alien food, and reacting with bizarre alien flatulence. The style resembles vibrant coloured pencils more than the perfection normally associated with computer animation. Directed by Eric Darnell and with art direction by Michael Collery. There is an interview with the directors at The Critical Eye.
