Featured reviews
One of the best animation shorts I've seen in a long time that caters to my kind of humor. Insanely beautifully crafted. Animation, humor, and dialogues are spot on! Music, sound effects, and tension are delightful. Even Vimeo staff praised it and put it center stage in its top picks for a reason. Can't wait for the whole season 1 to start! Even my mom laughed out loud :)
I really liked the social interaction of the design team with us the audience. We got an up-close and personal story behind this production which made me love this even more. 10 stars from me.

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.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!! I just saw the short on Amazon Prime. Flying Lotus brought me here! I really enjoyed the style and sense of humour. It's super funny and original. The music is amazing: Flying Lotus, Mr Oizo, Sebastian... This is definitely a must see! Can't wait to see the series. Probably the next big thing in animation.
I start by saying this is not a mass consumption product. This is not a "McDonalds" type product. It is highly stylized and quirky. Many will not like it but some will absolutely love it. There will be a Season 1 that should follow with this being the pilot. I look eagerly forward to it. It surprised me when I looked at IMDb for the voice actors. I recognized several and was surprised.
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.
