Every year the movie theater that I work at has a special screening of the Oscar nominated Live Action and Animated shorts which is is where I got the pleaure to see this amazing short. Take that all Canada bashers!!!! I have no idea what actually won Best Animated Short but I an't uderstand why this shouldn't have won. It is beautiful and creepy and feels like a weird dream you'd have perhaps in the throes of a fever. Amazing.
what is very bad is to say this won cannes 2007 and not to be true. if your film is good, you dont need to lay in order to make it noticeable. It is disrespectful to others.
@milkygoodness I think this video is excellent. I don't even remember writing this comment. I may have a second personality hidden inside me, because I don't agree with my comment. Beside, it could be this didn't win a cannes.
A strange piece. About loneliness and having nothing but possessions. Maybe a documentary on our society today. No connections other than things. She's fearful and sad.
i like the idea of the luggage being guilts or impositions a lot! , but i might add myself, i believe also the passengers mean related stuff, like, the two men playing checkers might be (as one looks old and one young) maybe a reprsentation between a loved one and her parents, the grotesque man being a bad experience, the kid might be how the most cute things have been bad for her, and the sleeping man her giving ups, its all about thinking openly, right?

I think the bags she is carrying at the beginning of the film represents her
guilts or impositions. At the end, she finally gets rid of them and is freed.

@chrispykreme I don't think those are clay eyes. I think they were made too look real, digitally.
dianaberry9393 1 year ago
@dianaberry9393 They're human eyes digitally added to Stop Motion animation. Took them 4 years.
rustyfhalof 1 year ago

Thats because the eyes are that of a real person that have been digitally tracked onto the puppet in post production..
