True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

a technology dependent middle age man. and a surprising adversary. premises for a splendid show of imagination who only an independent film could give it. because it is one of the old fashion comedy. in fact, it is a return to the gags poetry , so strange in contemporary animation, but useful and adorable. a show of disaster who preserves the force of subtle irony. because it is a social critic. and wise gift for the child inside us.

(Screened as part of the myFrenchFilmFestival.com that is underway only on screens - the TV link does not work for most of the features and the shorts, no matter what anyone else might tell you).Well, this one was a welcome relief when it screened just after 'Aissa', due to the heavy material the latter showcased in its 8 minutes.This one's shorter, but acted as a welcome put-no-thought-and-have-a-break kinda respite.However, it also did have something to say, a la 'Wall-E', where humanity is represented as being overtly technology-dependent, and where an accidental 'short' causes/forces the lone human to actually stretch his muscles, for a change. The way it has been enacted evokes entertains and evokes genuine laughter at the character's predicament, and the irony of it all, and was staged very imaginatively, with the film-makers using the means at their disposal, taking full advantage of the milieu of animation.A good way to act as a bridge between heavy-stuff being played in the other shorts. Worth a watch for sure.
