Is the torture of poor Boxhead and Roundhead never to end? I suppose I must be a very cruel person, because I laughed a lot, but I have a question: WHAT IS THAT LANGUAGE??? It sounds so romantic...

JAG - you'll love it.

Patricia - When I first wrote the books and showed them to my friend Alex he said, "There seems to be a recurring theme of calamity here".

Grim and beautiful. I watched it a few times in a row and will watch it again tomorrow, to lift the spirit.

Next one should be in colour, a Disney's employee said.

I did love it; especially Boxhead's flicking of the switch and the look on his face.

That is a great short. Just found you on Drawingboard.org. Great use of a Tom Waits song too. He is popping up more and more in animation since his music already elicits imagery. Patricia asked what language it is... I think she was talking about the song... It is actually entirely made up. The song is called "Kommienezuspadt."

Your use of texture in this animation is awesome. Great work!

M!

Mike - thanks for your kind words.
According to the various Germans I know it isn't in fact gibberish (I had read it was).
