Just a year after Gorillaz&#39; star-studded fifth album Humanz was released, here comes a sixth - The Now Now, released later this month - and a new video for the first single Humility, with Jamie Hewlett&#39;s characters (including a new one) animated by Tim McCourt and Max Taylor at The Line.With live action shot at Venice Beach &ndash; directed by Evan Silver &ndash; McCourt and Taylor&#39;s excellent 2D animation brings the band character 2D to life, joyfully rollerskating through&nbsp;Venice&#39;s celebrated streetlife (sporting Beats headphones) while the other bandmembers hang out with the locals - including Murdoc&#39;s &#39;temporary replacement&#39;, the equally green Ace, casually ruining a game of hoops.&nbsp;&nbsp;And with a significant live action supporting role for a guitar-strumming Jack Black, who pops up throughout, this seems like an altogether simpler and sunnier, and more commercially-minded iteration of the World&#39;s Most Successful Virtual Act. Certainly a kinder one for the usually hapless 2D. Well, that is until drummer Russel (now back at normal size) puts a sudden, surprisingly spiteful&nbsp;end to 2D&#39;s skate fun.Can Russel be the new Murdoc? Good&nbsp;to see that some remainder of Hewlett&#39;s edge is still there...

Gorillaz - Humility (Official Video)

Tim McCourt and Max Taylor of animating collective&nbsp;The Line have created two minutes of sheer amusement with Amaro and Walden&#39;s Joyride. With music made for the video by&nbsp;Hugo Chegwin and&nbsp;Fred Berry, it follows Amaro and Walden, two mischevious little fellas on a joyride all over&nbsp;London Town.The characters are described by their creators as &quot;two rowdy boy racer, hipster hybrids with that lads on tour attitude. They&#39;re the best of friends but couldn&#39;t care less about each other&#39;s safety.&quot; And if you&#39;re a sucker for BTS like we are, take a look at their&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thelineanimation.com/amaroandwaldensjoyride/" target="_blank">behind the scenes&nbsp;</a>content, full of character designs, a shot breakdown sequence and tons of photos from the shoot.&nbsp;
