OK, so as it was said before, this goes 100% against the main current of blockbuster. This short is very well done, the script is very smart and the graphics are amazing ! Now, this is definitely not for everyone... your need to be quick to catch jokes and references... But if you do, then, it's a real pleasure ! In 12 minutes, they packed a crazy amount of things... the concept is great, and it's really really well executed. Watch it, and make your own opinion ! Can't wait for the full season...
I loved it, but I understand than some might not get it. This is only a Pilot for a Series, so no real story here, as this is more of an introduction to the characters and style of the whole thing. But this is already full of references, some obvious and some much less obvious, and I loved the visual design.
A large and complex embroidery. Cultural references, irony in high levels, absurde situations, realism used in special manner. And something giving status of fascinating to a short animation about Cosmos a melon and a not so happz Dave.
I quite enjoyed this overall. Oddly loveable. However, the gratuitous female with a rich daddy and bulbous breasts (clothed and nude) added nothing. Indeed, it was a highly annoying distraction and will be a reason not to watch thIs. Highly disrespectful to your potential female audience.
Black Holes is one of the most EXCITING short film I've ever seen, I want to thank and salute the creators for the masterpiece they offered to the public with such generosity! I loved everything about it : it's BEAUTIFUL, very WELL CRAFTED, ORIGINAL, UNSETTLING, CLEVER, FUNNY... The list is endless. The satirical tone and the attention to details give access to several layers of understanding. What seems to be flimsy and dumb on the surface is actually very RICH and DEEP. The references are BRILLIANT. I found the rhythm and storytelling absolutely perfect. The parallel between humanity's thirst for greatness and knowledge (symbolized by science and space exploration) and the fragility of our condition (self-consciousness, insecurity of the main character) is amazing and hilarious. Apparently the creators are working on a SERIES. There has never been a 3D animated series of that quality on TV ever! This would be a REVOLUTION. I can't wait.
