Sonic Animation (or sonicanimation) are an Australian dance/techno musical group. They came to popular attention in 1999 with the release of their track "Theophilus Thistler". Other noted releases since then include "I'm a DJ", "Super Showbiz Star", "This is not a Love Poem" and "Get Up".

Their live acts are noted for the two "furry suits" (known as Robert Roley and Theophilus Thistler) at each gig. These suits are worn by two fans selected by the band via their web site and Chris Wheatley's internet mailing list.

Sonic Animation announced their break-up in mid 2005 with the release of their greatest hits / rarities album Eleven, which was followed by the hugely successful Bugger Off tour. They made their last festival appearance at the Big Day Out in 2006 (Australian shows only).

In 2011 Rupert Keiller and Adrian Cartwright revealed a new Sonic Animation remix for ‘world music’ outfit Delhi 2 Dublin, following it with the announcement that they are back in the studio. (someone else link this, plenty of articles around)
