I first saw Face Like A Frog (or at least part of it) on an episode of Liquid Television when I was about 10 years old. I absolutely loved, LOVED the "Don't Go In The Basement" song and I had no idea that it was part of a larger animated short until recently.
The cartoon is mostly unintelligible first time around (and none the worse for it) but it features a frog going into a cursed house to sort it out...and that's basically it. But the colors, characters and background are all so brilliantly surreal and exaggerated you'd be forgiven for thinking you've gone on the ultimate acid trip. Directed and animated by Sally Cruikshanks, Face Like A Frog displays an exceptional imagination and talent. I'm amazed to find that she hasn't gone on to do much more.
For a utterly surreal and dreamlike five minutes, look no further than this short.
