    Animation at its best!!

    Absolutely brilliant. The animation was well executed The story was action packed, charming and laugh out loud funny. There is an unexpected twist. Suitable for all ages of audience. You will be left wanting more. Every now and then you watch a truly memorable animation, for me this is one.

    Very well done.

    A simple story that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. Quite interesting animation. All in all, Fire in Cardboard City is the best short film I've seen this year.
