the animation on this short is so good you're going to make me go watch it again. that wrinkled paper technique should have won the oscar. literally pushed the boundaries of animation.

In case you haven't seen it, he made a longer animated movie called It's Such A Beautiful Day, where you follow a deeply mentally ill stick man and how his brain interprets the world. It was so disturbing that the annoying family with noisy kids fell completely silent a few minutes into the film and then hurriedly packed up and left the cinema.

It's got to be a decade since I watched it and it still haunts me sometimes. You feel so friggin bad for that stick figure and the hell he had to live with in his mind 24/7.
