Vintage fun with a modern twist

Probably one of my favorite pieces by PES. It has the same good quality trademark stop-motion animation that all of his films have, but we have moved from the table to the video-console of the 1980s. If you love or loved those primitive child-like super-addictive video-games and their brain-penetrating music, you will love this short. Well, not much story, the story is told in the few lines of the plot. A game in your video-console, where all the backgrounds and characters you know are there, but just reproduced by using daily-life ordinary objects and products. The images are full-on, with lots of action, and one of the most difficult pieces to assemble regarding the filming, I would say. The short is fun and charming, it really transported me to my childhood. It is too minutes long, but I think that is the right time for a video-game game! ha!
