A surreal, but still horrific UPA cartoon
23 October 2021
Here is another creepy cartoon for the Halloween season. A surreal but still horrific combination of UPA's animation and narration by actor James Mason (Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). I had never seen this cartoon before until I found it on YouTube. After that, I thought it was another awesome UPA cartoon, as well as a favorite.

Also, I'd like to point out that I didn't know that UPA, which is known for the famous "Mr. Magoo" cartoons, had done something so... dark and mature, if those are the right words to sum up this short. The short was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject. So anyway, all I have to say is that this short is definitely worth seeing on Halloween and is another UPA favorite.
