Good movie but grossly overrated
good back-story, and good acting
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a charming animated film. It is a hand drawn cartoon with what looks like computer added blurs. He throws the people in his life on top of the plates and tries to keep them all spinning. It seems to be a comment on the phrase that we all have to keep many plates spinning in our life. It is well paced and funny with no dialog and a nice musical score. The drawing is a bit loose and crude but the film is still fun, with some exaggerated action and gestures. The drawing style reminds me of Jim Tyer's animation at Terrytoons.This film was selected as one of the finalists in contention for an Academy Award in the short film category.
