Good short one, 2 February 2001
7/10
Author: David Vanholsbeeck from Ternat, Belgium

I'm no expert on short films (or other films for that matter), but I saw this by accident and rather enjoyed it too. The animation is rather simplistic, but the story seems to be aimed at a somewhat more adult audience. It's pretty funny and inventive and I can only say that you won't regret checkin' it out when you have the opportunity. But I guess that will have to be "by accident", just like when I did. 7/10
