Sorry, this movie sucks

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I bought The Spike and Mike Festival of Animation, Vol. 1 for other shorts that were on the cassette. I got better than I thought, as there were several shorts on there that would have been worth getting the tape in and of themselves, including this one. I can't say a great deal about it directly, save that Peter Doctor (who most recently worked on Monsters, Inc.) definitely remembers childhood well. This is a scream, particularly the ending. This is a great short on an equally great compilation. Well worth the trouble to hunt up a copy. Most highly recommended.
