This a very short film lasting five minutes and if it was filmed with actors playing characters it would have failed since it has little plot and is composed of an irritating mother taking her son to a reptile house while giving him her life story while asking him the occasional question as to what's happening with his life
So what makes COMBINATION SKIN impressive as a short film isn't Anthony Hodgson's script but his animation which is similar to that seen in SHREK and it's unsurprising that Hodgson contributed to that groundbreaking movie as an animator . I would have liked the visuals to have concentrated a bit more on the residents of the reptile house as we see a brief and touching scene of a poor tortoise lying on its back waggling its limbs but over all this is an impressive animated short film thanks to Hodgson's animation and the voices of Jane Horrocks and Teresa Gallagher
