"Powerful yet funny"
date: November 2, 2009
It's sort of a tragic comedy, like Shakespeare's plays in a way. It was sad but there was an element of comedic absurdity (I.e. the bunny wearing clown makeup and holding a red balloon). There's that and, though likely unintentional, the absurdity of a game boy breaking if it's hit by a football and falls on the grass. Also the names for the video games they were buying, space football marines likely was meant to allude to the high demand of games like gears of war and madden nfl.
Have to say though, I've seen a few other shorts and I really like the animation and art direction. The style is sort of reminiscent of a more realistic Scott Pilgrim. The humor isn't overpowering, but it's funny to the point where, when combined with the high level of animation, turns out very enjoyable.
