Sundown

Summer Solstice Festival. A dance troupe. And a missing member near the entrance on stage. The simple, honest in some measure, solution. The colors, the drawings, the beautiful craft of story are good points of this fresh animation.

I don't know why, but this animated short film reminded me of Scooby-Doo-maybe because of the animation style, the visuals, the colors, or even the characters.

The story follows a group of circus performers who realize that one of their members has gone missing just as their performance is about to begin. To make matters worse, they can't even ask anyone for help because they don't have a photo of the missing person.

The film is full of symbolism, and the sense of pressure and tension feels very real. That said, it just isn't my type of film.
