Lack of good storyline.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of the cutest short animated films I've ever seen! I was fortunate enough to catch it on Cinemax (or was it HBO?) ages ago when they used to have short films as filler between features (when they were more interested in programming than self-promotion).Rather than the usual formal "finished" animation, this is done with just the artist's sketches ... just black & white, no painted-in cels, no fancy backgrounds.The story involves a little lighting store with anthropomorphic lamps. One little fella gets knocked off the shelf and breaks his light bulb. "Blinded" by the broken bulb he fumbles his way to the cabinet to find a replacement, but accidentally grabs a bottle of gin instead, screwing it into his socket. Pulling the chain to turn himself on results in the bottle's contents emptying into the poor guy.The resulting chaos of a drunk (bull) in a lamp (china) shop results in lots of laughs.What a pity this little gem isn't available for sale/rent. I cherish my ancient off-air copy.Lasseter went on to get an Academy Award nomination for his next "lamp film" ... 'Luxo Jr.' ... the first computer animated film to get an Oscar nomination and the mascot for Pixar.
