Length: 01:46
Logline: An average guy reminisces on his past and makes predictions about his future.
Simple in design, this short cartoon has a hand drawn graphic style, which utilises blocks of bold flat colour. The colour scheme gives this a fun and funky feel although the drawing style is still somewhat basic. The digital soundtrack also enhances the retro computer game vibe and this combined with the animation design of having the main character continually move on through various settings, also mimics video games of yester year.
There's little to the plot and it's lacking some originality in this area but on the whole is a bit of amusement based around concepts of daydreaming, fulfilment and wishful thinking. The protagonist, voiced suitably by comedian Kim Noble, manages to encapsulate the everyman quite well and portrays what is probably a very average life for a lot of people. Noble's dulcet tones flatter the character making the whole thing sound like a 'Streets' track.
The animation is busy so there's always something to catch your eye and makes this one of those films you'll want to watch more than once in case you missed something going on in the background. Overall, it's an easy watch.
Best Bit: continual movement through scenes.
