Fantastic

Creative and very entertaining. Its wild slapstick draws from Looney Tunes and silent movies, but it also feels highly original. It seems like it will wear thin, but the antics get funnier as it goes along, helped considerably by Cheslik's great sense of pace and use of misdirection. It's all "cartoon violence," but some of the deaths are delightfully grisly - and somehow acceptable, even though it's depicting the odious act of animal trapping. You even have Olivia Graves in a role reminiscent of Red Hot Riding Hood. Love the homage, love the update to the form; somewhere Tex Avery and Chuck Jones must be smiling.
