Funny in a truly cartoon style, 20 October 2008
6/10
Author: Gordon-11 from Hong Kong

This short is about two aliens trying to abduct sleeping humans to their flying saucer.

"Lifted" is funny! The animation is smooth, cute and very likable. Thwe cuteness is enhanced by the use of soft colours throughout the short. The plot is simple to the point that it can entertain very young children. I particularly enjoy watching the helpless alien who does not know what to do with the thousand switches in front of him. His exaggerated facial expressions are fun and entertaining to watch. The ending scene is funny, in a truly cartoon style, that made me laugh out loud.

I enjoyed watching "Lifted". It brings back nice childhood memories of watching and laughing to cartoons!
