Title: The most bizarre/mesmerizing animation I've seen in a long time
Post by: AtomSmasher on August 19, 2008, 12:52:51 pm

I dare you not to say WTF at some point while watching it.

"You may be of the age when you remember classrooms filled with old reading primers from the 50s and 60s and the weirdly quasi-realistic drawings that were in them. In this insane animation, they take those Dick and Jane illustrations and transform them into something that would give Dali nightmares."

Cool.
Anyone figure out the symbolism? There's probably some biblical message behind the weirdness.

Distilled to its core its a pretty common story of selfish greed unwittingly causing demise.  Dunno who wrote it first though.

I think I got the 'don't do drugs' message.

Obviously, the creators were on the good stuff.

I found it... Somewhere else.  ;)

After seeing this, I was reminded of a another short I saw a while back. I figured I might share it now. Obviously, this one is quite different; however, it has the same WTF affect.

This one makes total sense. It's kinda neat. Definitely love the animation style. Better than Pixar.
