SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

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.

This is a fantastic little adventure that people of all ages and languages can enjoy. In response to the unnecessary and blind 4/10 review posted before this one, what the bloody hell is wrong with you? "Didn't feel connected to the characters." Seriously? It's a 9 minute short film, and yet the characters were fun and entertaining to watch. Whether you feel a connection or not is rather irrelevant in this instance. It's animation style is rather unique and very colourful. It was a pleasure to watch. 'The Reward' contains humour, satire, simple life lessons, and even spawned a short series. To give an animation like this such an abhorrent score is wrong. For those of you who are interested in this, please ignore that 4/10 review. Besides, it's 9 minutes long. It is more than worth your while.

"The Reward" is a 9-minute animated short film from 2013, 3 years ago. It is a Danish production by Mikkel Mainz Elkjær and Kenneth Ladekjær, but there is no dialogue in here foreign audiences can also watch and appreciate this little film without subtitles. I must say I struggled a bit with the "appreciate". It is the story of two young men who are forced to join each other on a treasure hunt that goes on for a really really long time and includes physical as well as emotional sacrifice. Will they be successful eventually? Honestly, I must say I did not care at all. First of all, this film lacked a proper introduction to the main characters which is also a main reason why I quickly lost interest in the two. I never identified with them, I never felt for them. The animation is also nothing too great here and same goes for the story. have to give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
