A twist at the end of this short surprises like the twist in The Sixth Sense. The protagonist is not who they seem and what's more, they don't know it either. The short 12 minute length of this short film makes this simple but effective premise memorable.
And what's more, the characters that viewers meet along the way have four very catchy songs, similar to Broadway musical meets 1950s choral harmonics but hyped up to an almost frantic pitch, that still manages to remain pleasant to hear. Like, catchy.
The claymation is done in an almost grotesque style, but still captivating to watch due to the tempo changes, the transitions, and the many moving parts right on cue with the songs. As well as some creative sets. Every scene has something interesting, even if it's just in the odd ways the characters breathe: what looks like a live action body behind claymation faces breathing in an exaggerated fashion.
