What Happens

We watch an animated boy walk through the desolation, looking for food. Instead, he finds a toe buried in the ground. He hacks it off whatever it was connected to and takes it home to cook and eat it.

He never considers for a minute that the owner might want it back…

Commentary

It’s very crisp and sharp black-and-white. It’s hard not to compare this with Tim Burton’s visual style, but this is much bleaker and less whimsical.

This one is crazy good!
