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.
If you're tired of the expected Black Holes is for you! I have no interest in 3D animation, too formatted (probably for profitability reasons) but Black Holes really stroke me. It's an amazing breath of fresh air. The visual style, characters, tone, sound design... everything is spot-on. Personally I really enjoy this kind of humour, in the same vein as Monty Python, Quentin Dupieux (director of Rubber who is credited on the score and sound design here), the Cohen Brothers sometimes, H2G2, etc... Can't wait to see the series.
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.
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.
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.
