  • wow guys :D you made it!! :D awesome i like the style dudes :D

  • This is great!!! well done.

    TaylorMade Films. 

  • The sad story is thath he isn't the sicko, he is the good guy... Indeed he caused a lot of pain to the rabbit, but he saved it from the slow diying in agony and pain...

  • This is awesome. Kristian is my God.

  • Incredible, the story is perfect...well done

  • Amazing

  • pretty dam cool love the style, weird story line but i thought it was amazing other than that!

  • Teen age yobs, Sink Estates, Broken Britain.

  • FALCON PUNCH

  • You should've had some kind of resolve in there. Now everyoine thinks it's an autobiography of some lonely nerd who hangs around with potential criminals.

  • I have no idea what this is about, but its pretty cool. Wish it was finished though. Was this entirely hand drawn, or was there any cel shading involved.

  • what accent is that? its awfull. love the rest

  • @chunk123123 English, where most people who watch this vid come from

  • @chunk123123 Suffolk/Norfolk in UK

  • Stunningly beautiful, only gripe would be there is really no story. Though that can be said about a lot of short movies. Rock on, sir.

  • @mark84j There is a story. The story is about a lonely boy who's only friend is a sick fuck. The last part about the bus going past without him is very powerful. It, for me, signifies that, after killing the rabbit, he's changed forever. Lost something essential about himself and his own humanity.

    Nothing makes people hate others more than being isolated from others or feeling excluded. Too many people feel totally alone in this world. That's why we have so many problems.

  • Wonderful.

  • absolutely brilliant. great work! Cheers!

  • I like the art that was really cool, but like what is your message? I think the plot was a little dry. Did he finally become a man because he killed something or did something or...but the art was really good, and I liked how it was blocked and everything like that.

  • crap mentality

  • Ok, Here is wat this represents. There are some people who are more in touch with Morality, Ethics, Feelings & Sensebility. The People who are NOT, can be easier related to our ancestors. Violent, Vicious, Vulgour & Vile.

    But the more moral one, although wouldn't choose to hang out with some1 like that, lets the Brute be a part of his life out of kindness. He lets him encourage the bad traits in him, because he know it pleases his Nasty Friend.

    This is Y Evil always prevails. It's encouraged.

  • @therealKINDLE Intrestingly optopistic view of life. I think you are really straight on, until the last bit.

  • This is horrible...

  • We never understand those "crimes" we saw which was only a flash.

  • he put it out of its misery it was better then the other kid who shot it and wanted to let it suffer, even though now he looks like the sick one

  • beautiful

  • kids are f...ed up

  • Deep

  • great!

  • "euw gross, you fucking sicko."

    That was a brilliant/funny end.

  • I liked it but I'm starting to notice a pattern, are all teenage British boys trouble makers?

  • @GammaRazor xD seems to be portrayed that way doesn't it? i guess its just a more interesting topic to look at then then good middle class part of the UK

  • I loved the animation. --->0:21 Tight

    Personally it seems to be about how some are influenced by others. Sometimes you do things you normally wouldn't do..

  • @PolTehPwnage @happyperson1100

    The best I can figure, it's about being 14. I totally identified with it.

  • I don't get it. What's it about?!

  • God this is lovely! The animation is just gorgeous

  • superb, really truly!

  • Comment removed

  • This is well wicked!

  • what program did they used to make this one?

  • Saw this at the ondotzero festival at the BFI, been looking for it ever since.

    I like everything about it, it feel so genuine. Perfectly captures those gawky adolescent moments that sum up something intangible about growing up, death of innocence stuff.

    Plus it looks beautiful.

  • most channels are hit and miss half of the time.

    your channels more hit and AWESOME!

    p.s.

    this clarifies as awesome.

  • that inkwash running sky is amazing, well done. all looks wicked.

  • amazing

  • i relly liked that man thats was pretty cool nice video

  • wicked animation

  • That was ace!

  • Enthralling.... thanks.

  • this is absolutley amazing

    the art style is amazing

    well done

  • the art was different from other animations... really cool stuff =)

  • DUDE, I totally just saw this about an hour ago at the BAA public screening! : D

    Super awesome vid. : ) One of the cooler films they showed most def.

  • soo good

  • The boy who makes four eyes play the game is my brother, he doesn't talk like that, and when four eyes says,

    'their both norfolk girls stupid'

    The boy who is in the balaclava when they have made a mini bomb is from norfolk!!

    And the step-dad is NOT mean he is my dad and he couldnt be any better! Just the boy who says he is mean, my brother was very badly behaved. I dont know who four eyes is but if i find out that my twat of a bro was gona leave that rabbit i am gona rip off his man hood. Iona!

  • I like alot

  • I know that it's a stylistic choice but I didn't really care for the animation, it just looked unfinished, that said I did find the story interesting and the voices were well done so all in all, I say it's good.

  • amazing

  • Stylish and original. Lo ved the artwork

  • very good animation!!!

  • DONKEY PUNCH!

  • Wicked.

  • Sweet..

    -feels like it needs a sequel..

  • Interesting story. I would just like to say though. I don't remember a Citroen C5 sounding that nice :)

  • That was awesome.

  • An amazing piece.

  • hm I dont get it, someone explain

  • This Kristian guy is friends with a boy who has a funny idea of fun, he goes along with it because there is nothing better to do. The other boy has some sick ideas and would be willing to leave the rabbit to die a slow painful death, Kristian feels bad and ends the rabbit's life.

  • The animation and the style to this was fantastic. Found the tale a bit odd. Very good work.

  • Barbarian. :)

  • I'm not sure how I feel exactly after watching this. I know that I enjoyed this, I just can't tell why exactly...

  • i really enjoyed this for a reason i can't completely put my finger on

  • Wow. Awesome.

  • so the kid wanted to escape his life with his withdrawn mother and mean step father so he started to be a minon of the other guy?

  • this is an amazing piece.

    put together beautifully.

  • amazing - so was the guy gay? lmao.

  • @lughf4 or maybe you're just not intelligent enough to appreciate it?

  • Great animation

  • fucking twats

  • And that was the Rabbit punch, chaps.

  • The void existence of men.

  • great style! is this rotoscoped? (drawn over film footage)?

  • from what i can see its not rotoscoped (thanks tho i didnt know it was called that lol )

  • How do you animate something like this? A program of some sort?

  • good

  • great animation art..so refreshing!

  • good

  • that fun

  • the video was great and i liked the irony of the final line. i think you put allot of depth into the charectors in a short space of time without the need to try hard with use of colours and long speeches, but with emotion in the words....

    now to the childish review.....dumb northerners??? you southern fairys couldnt even pull the only girls in the flick ya puffs!

  • i dont get it :S someone explain?

  • Constructive Criticism: The art was lovely. In terms of storyline, though - it seems rather vague; which the art is the only reason for watching alone. It kind of reminds me of a Donnie Darko - esque story; but overall it is very good. I give it a an 8/10 :-D .

  • Masterpiece! Brilliant animation. Lots of deep meanings in this short.

  • @ryeijisuke FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!

  • Nice animation, looks like it was drawn over video.

  • whats the point of this video?

  • Slice of life, mate. look it up.

  • I thought it was pretty good but i didn't get the whole point of the story? or is it just 1 video as then it makes sense?...... now im not making sense it was good :D

  • Yeah. good carton

  • I like the edgy arty feel about this short. Realistic story line but could maybe do with a punchline. Only negative for me is that it is too depressing.

  • spinnyest shit ever, red ears mehh

  • WOW I love this style for a short film, awesome .I am also from Norfolk so this is extra funny and cringe worthy our accent is orrible.

  • it frightens me

  • in my opinion it's just the story to present the 'work'. the story it's not lame and it's just like a real life as can actually imagine real kids doing what's on the 'video'. for me it doesn't have to have punch line.

  • I AM SO CONFUSED (cool animation though)

  • did they shoot the driver of that car? and whats with that rabbit?

  • wondering if it was recorderd on camcorder and repainted as a cartoon layer on each frame.

    it's got well touch of cinematic background. seems as it's a random story just to perfect technique.

  • good animation, i would suggest making the story easier to follow tho

  • Looks like the voice of experiece. As the old saying goes, takes a thief to catch a thief.

    -Ἀδέλφῳ ἔν κρυπτώντι

  • this videos quite good just didnt get the story

  • thats a pritty epic animation short piece, i might make something with just using black and white with only some colour :D

  • that was wierd but in a good artistic way

  • don't get the story :/

  • retard!!!!

  • it was a cartoon of two randy kids with a pellet gun and a spastic rabbit

  • how did you make it

  • omg amazing

  • whats the story?

  • what a nonsensed stupid movie

  • stunning

    just stunning

    love it

  • yew norfolk is shit i mean norwich city fc come from there how gay but suffolk yes boy now thats what we're talkin about

  • Good animation ... could of left out the swearing to make it a great piece of work ...

  • The swearing is part of the characters, it lets the viewer subconsciously understand the characters emotions and/or background/personality. It portrays realism, and not the delusional world people like to think they live in.

  • @dgw777 Uhm really? I thought the contrast between the convincing dilect and the purposely abstract animation worked well. The dilect wouldn't be so convincing without the swearing imo

  • @dgw777 i mean dialect

  • what is this all about? I honestly didnt understand it

  • Reminds me of the film "Boy A" when they were kids

  • WOW amazing!!!!!!!!! BUT NORFOLK people aren't stupid, that's just a stupid stereotype!!!

  • Brill Animation (:

  • lol norfolk girls aint stupid XD i aint stupid but gd vid btw x

  • Weird. I presumed this would be terrible yet I couldn't stop watching... o_O

  • brilliant, I thought it'd be shit but I couldn't stop watching.

  • Wow that was incredible, great animation

  • poor rabbit :(

  • Bleak, credible and beautifully put together. Thanks.

  • this is so beautyful

  • I killed someone once.........

  • cool

  • 2nd that

  • wow..

  • Amazing animation style, loved every bit of it :D

  • very very very impressive, why I studied Illustration and animation.

  • saw this at the RCA open day, brilliant.

    just a shame it was so badly organised we didn't get to see all the other films.

  • makes you think of people who can't stick up for themselves. living in a world were it seems nobody cares, and they are left tobe walked over by idiots...

  • i'm a kid again!...excellent work.

  • Sick.

  • ur fucked up wiv ur ideas but sik all th same

  • loved it ofc

  • groos you fuking sicko

  • "Groos" "Fuking"?

  • Very impressive art style. You should think about doing it for a living if you're not already. throw me a business card.

  • Quality!

  • Left me in silence, it's amazing

  • awesome artwork and story 5stars ;)

  • that was amazing.

  • beautyful... love it!

  • This was great.

  • Fucking awesome - about time humons made art as confusing, touching and affecting as this. Will you be my Dad?

  • Homans

  • Very good film, more please!

    Q: Whats the difference between a cat and a comma?

    A: A cat has claws at the end of its paws, but a comma is a pause at the end of a clause.

  • dickhead

  • I get your joke, its quite clever with the whole wording thing but I don't find it funny... would make me smile if it was in a grammar book for kids though.

  • Ohh, thanks for that! Maybe in a kiddies book with illustrations to show the thread you would appreciate it more. You bugger. LOL.

  • haha, I was only saying what I thought :P

    grammar learning is tedious, it could be made more fun...

  • Very similar style to Dave McKean, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nicely done.

  • This is funny as fuck.

  • I agree with many other posters, it's a cool animation style. However, I also agree with many other posters in that it's not really about anything. It's a brief window into maybe 2 days in the life of two dumb kids (though 1 appears to be nearer 18). It's easy to relate to as everyone probably knows a pair like this, but they do so many random actions that everyone can find a bit of similarity with them (we all play xbox etc). Not much 2 say rly, 2 days in the life of a pair of dumbs...

  • very good

  • sucks

  • Good stuff. Maybe you could have replaced the brand "LYNX" with something like "STYNX" just to avoid referencing brands. Still 5*

  • Wow

  • thats was really cool. love how it's drawn :)

  • Brilliant job. The drawing style reminds me a bit of Dave McKean, not that I'm trying to take anything away from you guys. Well done.

  • great story, very well executed
