HTML5 is one of the hottest technologies available and developers seem to take great advantage of the features included in the new HTML version. However, many of you don't actually know why HTML5 is so cool and what possibilities are opened thanks to this new language. That's why I've collected some of the most impressive HTML5 animations that I've encountered and listed them bellow.

Keep in mind that HTML5 is still under heavy development and the final version will bring way more surprises. Looking at these examples just makes me wonder if Flash will be able to keep up with HTML5 in the years to come. Also make sure you use Firefox or Chrome when viewing these animations because they are the most reliable when it comes to HTML5.
