Unlucky Charms

UNLUCKY CHARMS (or just "Charms" on Youtube) is a computer-animated short which follows the unfortunate fate of a bored night attendant at a gas station who decides to participate in a Lucky Charms-lookalike cereal sweepstakes and ends up summoning an Irish Demon instead.

The animation is first-rate: crisp, colorful, atmospheric and with just the right amount of whimsy. I was reminded of some of the Pixar works. The story is fun and leaves the audience eager with anticipation at what happens next. There is even something like a moral in there.

Overall, this is about as good as an animated comedic horror short can get. Kudos to the talented creator, who seems to be largely a one-man operation.
