If this isn't art, I don't know what is. And I absolutely love art this random. It's actually really great too, which is something you don't always get with artsy shorts that are this sheer freaking "out there." I suppose it could just be viewed and enjoyed as a visual representation of a drug-induced hallucination, which I guess is basically the angle. The way it looked was almost like a thought-loop on a bad trip, if I didn't know any better... Frankly, I had no idea what I had just watched, but I sure was blown away at the animation talent that was on display. Its look was basic, but at the same time very complex indeed, with so much to take in visually, so many shifting faces and shapes moving in such hypnotic seamless symmetry in one long shot, all focused in the centre of the screen. Not to mention all the myriad glimpses of pop culture icons that sure helped to make it a lot more fun. I had to keep pausing it here and there to make sure I'd seen the character I thought I had. And it was the appearances of the classic black and white era cartoon characters Betty Boop, Koko the Clown and Bimbo that led me to think that this psychedelic kaleidoscope could have possibly been intended as a little homage to the fluid lunacy of the earliest and most whacked-out offerings of the Fleischer Brothers studios! And one other thing in particular that kept popping up that was impossible to miss or mistake, that to me definitely felt like a nod to the more outrageous qualities of the freewheeling creepy cartoons of the olden days, was...oh how does one put this delicately? Dicks? Can I say that? I kid you not, amid the patterns of the animation explicit phallic imagery was rampant in this short! It was like a reversal of 1982's Malice in Wonderland! I mean, there were other racy body parts that appeared also, but that was the predominant one - they were everywhere! So I seriously wouldn't recommend showing this one to the little brats. You only ever see that stuff for fractions of a second, and the puzzle design of the cycling motion make it so interwoven with everything else that you're never all that sure of what you've seen at all. It's definitely in there though. Just how is this kind of animation done anyway? It couldn't have been frame by frame. There were some real passionate artists at work on this one, ones who must have had a very good understanding of structure and imagery revolving around sound, and how the two can occasionally blend together to create amazing things. Animation and music have long gone great together. This was bizarre, very slightly titillating, beautiful and mesmerising all at once. By the end my head was pounding! An extraordinary fantastic little work of animated art and I loved it, great job.

Visually impressive work of experimental animation, which does an interesting and original homage to several iconic fiction characters (Such as Betty Boop, Spiderman, Tweety, Mickey Mouse, Charlie Brown, Hello Kitty, among others) Rather than telling a story, this short feels more like a crazy (but beautiful and stylish) compilation of imagery that turns the music into animation.

I liked very much the aesthetic of the designs (That have a certain resemblance with the classic animation done by the Fleischer Studios) and the lovely use of colors and music. This is a cool, stylish animation, which is more than worth-watching.
