OH MY GOD....i remember a comic EXACTLY LIKE THIS...it was featured in a manga that was called flight...it was in the second book of light...i cant beleive don hertzfeldt made this :D
By the way, what's the name of the song at 1:40? I can't remember the name of it... Actually, I don't think I ever knew the name of it, but it's one of my favorite opera songs.
Every time I watch this film it sends shivers down my spine, like it's reveals a sort of reality that I'm so busy trying to escape that I forget about it over and over again. I get up searching for some sort of euphoria that will finally relieve me of this dissonance that entangles my life. But no matter how happy I feel, I always come crashing down into depression and madness harder and harder. Maybe happiness is a drug, and I should stop doing it.
@Gito360 The song is called "Vltava (Moldau)." It was driving me NUTS trying to figure that out. I use to love it when I heard it on an old NES game called Toobin' and even use to have it on CD paired with Ravel's Bolero. As much as I loved that song I never learned its name. Thank God finally I found the disc in an old box. It really does fit the animation. : )
this is the best short film that i've seen!...too bad that it isn't complete...it should be complete and translated to every language in the planet...because all of us can feel related with this...marvelous!!!....if you haven't seen it compleate look for it because it's worth it..!!!
after this, i found myself making sure to grab fruit at the back, now realizing the fruit in the front really IS at crotch level!

@ThePwnerOfEpicNoobs It's on DVD now through the Bitter Films website. Most of Don's movies are on DVD there, remastered and full of extras.

@Thelaofkazi or maybe you need to just drop everything you're doing and seek what gives you happiness. though thats easier said then done.
