beautifully morose and conceptual
when i saw this for the first time, i admit i cried. and i just watched it again, and it happened again! i dont know why and don't get me wrong im not one to cry because i have virtually no conscience. things dont make me sad, at least not realistic things. i'm just odd like that. i can see a depressing cartoon and i can cry, yet im completely apathetic toward things, for example, like the Virginia Tech killings. but sorry, i'm drifting. i think the concept is great and innovative; people dont really realize the actual mortality of those around them, especially loved ones. i actually loved the song so much (which fit perfectly) i found it and downloaded it (its Avril 14th by Aphex Twin if anyone was wondering). anyway, i think the simplicity of life on the outside fit with the simplicity of the animation overall (drawing, movement, etc.). and the inner complexity worked in the metaphor of the box which was genius. this actually made me hug my doggy (which i never do she's too annoying for that kind of returned affection =P). anway, i thought it was well made and the music to me REALLY pulled it together. any other may have taken away, but i thouht it fit perfectly. keep up the good work! (haha this is my first comment EVER!!)
