One of the funniest animation shorts I've ever seen!
22 January 2004 | by klateau1 – See all my reviews

I saw this as a teenager on "World Animation Festival" on PBS and it was pure Terry Gilliam animation genius! This was even better that his animation work on MPFC because it was totally focused Gilliam original material, same twisted sense of humor, different format. (short subject) I really wish someone would release this, maybe with some other unreleased TG animation!
