Examples of animation studio with a good eye for graphic design? Wanted to see if /r/design knows some great studios/designers that are sort of an hybrid between an animation studio and a design studio. With work you can clearly see has been made by a designer who has learned to animate and not by someone who was classically schooled.
Not meaning meaning the standard explaination / motion graphic here. Im looking for animation work that uses graphic design principles as it's main way of communication and is conceptually strong, bordering on art.
And to start a meta discussion, what do you think the borders of graphic design are? Where do you think graphic design stops being graphic design and starts beeing some else: like art, animation, illustration or even programming?

Motion design is a whole separate field that can encompass anything from 2 d to 3 d to character animation and anything in between. [Golden Wolf](http://goldenwolf.tv/) is a great example of a studio that does primarily character animation for commercials, idents, and intros, but a lot of their work has a very graphic quality to it.
