What Happens

Little Timothy’s not very smart. He’s up late doing his math homework, and he just can’t get the answers. Much to his surprise, a strange man with no mouth shows up outside his window and wants in. Timothy’s not that dumb; he doesn’t let him in. Still, the man gives him the answers to his homework by holding up how many fingers is the answer. Because he has no mouth. But wait, how was he whistling then?

The next night? Well, now they’re friends. What could go wrong?

Commentary

This one is done with stop-motion, in the style of an old VHS tape. It’s very retro, and it gets all the aesthetics just right. We have to wonder just how “not very smart” little Timothy is, but then we find out.

The ending wasn’t a huge surprise, but it was fun anyway!
