Annie & Boo

This animation by Johannes Weiland and Dirk Stoppe has one of the most interesting and unique story lines that I have come across in quite some time. The animation is in the modern, computer-generated style, and while the actual animation may be a little below average by today's standards, the unique premise more than makes up for it.

While, I do think the basic idea could have been used to better effect, there are a few laughs and the short does make you look at things in a new light. Despite the rather uncreative character design and dialogue, I would recommend this film for fans of modern short animation, for those who like ideas a little outside of the box, and for those looking for an interesting way to waste a few minutes.
