Watch Jona / Tomberry For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Pretty Good

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Jona/Tomberry is a very strange but at same time, an incredibly captivating animated short, which feels pretty much like the CGI equivalent of the excellent works done by Terry Gilliam and the Brothers Quay, in the sense that both share the same dream-like quality, which it is combined with even crazier elements that here work perfectly well.Jona/Tomberry has a wonderfully dark atmosphere, which fits perfectly well with the the nightmarish tone of the story, with a very stylish character design and a impressive animation.This is a very imaginative, totally crazy short, which shows that not everything have been said in the wide world of animation.

I first saw this in my Survey of Electronic Arts class. It was on the latest SIGGRAPH DVD from the conference. I have to say this animation is frightening, beautiful, and a technical marvel. They have figured out a way to combine live action and CG in ways I never thought. The plot is hard to follow (if there even is one), but what it lacks in coherence, it makes up for in fantastic mood and atmosphere. I imagine that this is how people on drugs view a normal movie, so I wouldn't recommend taking any, otherwise your brain might simply rupture. I can't really give any sort of synopsis, except that there's a guy with a sharp-toothed whale for a camera, another guy with a huge gun, a singing baby with a fish tail, and some talking tree monsters that can walk on the ceiling...and there's mirrors in there too...lots of mirrors...
