08.19.08 HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME
My first thought when I opened this video was, "Aw, man, 8 minutes??" But then I couldn’t stop watching it. It’s freakin’ mesmerizing. Sadly I don’t have much info on it other than the credits at the end and the description from iheartchaos:
You may be of the age when you remember classrooms filled with old reading primers from the 50s and 60s and the weirdly quasi-realistic drawings that were in them. In this insane animation, they take those Dick and Jane illustrations and transform them into something that would give Dali nightmares.
Dali must be a pussy because it gave me a boner. I know someone out there thinks directing music videos of Miley Cyrus singing to the camera in her bedroom makes you capable of directing studio movies, but in a perfect world, this is the kind of short that lands someone a big project.
UPDATE: Director’s official site. The film is called "Rabbit". How delightfully logical.

Whoa! Deja Vu!
So this "ASSHOLE" floating above my head is supposed to be there?
Wow. I am at a loss for words.
It’s nice to see the director likes his muff sans hair too.
I was uncomfortable watching all the wasps get killed.
This is like my worst acid trip, except there’s no clown trying to violate me with catfish.
I just got two things to say:
Yo, Dick and Jane be trippin’!
And this concludes, Thoughts From The Shitter.
Curiouser and curiouser. The kid was useful with a knife. It must have been a Hatori Hanso blade.
Had I watched this in school, I woldv’e lerned to speel bedder.
I still would’ve wet the bed, though.
So the moral of this story is that acid is really really good.
That little fucker loves him some jam. What you don’t see is him crashing from the sugar high and sleeping for a week.
This was the video for Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit.
At least that’s what the Shaman that gave me the peyote told me.
I’m soooo bored at work right now, wish I could eat some mushrooms and drink some beer.
I thought the girl’s dress was
alarminglyalluringly short.Hi flux!
Who still barters things? What a crock of shit.
I wonder if this is how crazy people like Tom "the alien ass slapper" Cruise view the world.
How’s come they ain’t shootin’ us?
Cuz we’re in the spirit world ya asshole.
This is actually a viral campaign for QT’s INglorious Bastards
Actually, I think this is the same style of animation they are using for the upcoming Black Panther TV series on BET. It lookes like the just pulled the images right outta the comic.
Hi Fek!
eveBru, if that were true, there would’ve been a comma after every word that came on screen.
This is like an effed up mix up of Faulkner’s “Sound and the Fury” and my PCP glory days.
That was like a music video for a TOOL song….minus the music.
Lance, the Eastern Iowa Community Mental Health Center asked for a forwarding address for you…
This short is available on The Animation Show Vol. 3 with the truly amazing “Everything Will Be OK” by Don Hertzfeldt. I don’t remember being blown away by any of the other shorts, but “Everything Will Be OK” is worth buying the disc for, plus you get this and 15 other shorts you might enjoy better than I did.
