This short is lovely to look at and funny to listen to.
The vegetables enacting the familiar story of Oedipus in stop-motion are eloquent and expressive. Having Oedipus played by a potato makes perfect sense when you consider he has to put out his eyes.
The settings are derived from the Hollywood widescreen toga epics of the 1950s, and are quite grand.
The soundtrack is beautifully put together, as voices inspired by Charlton Heston, Orson Welles, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Alec Guinness read richly humorous dialogue.
I hope this one gets picked up for maximum distribution. It really deserves it. Kudos to director Jason Wishnow, and let's hope for a sequel.
