A visually breathtaking short that depends entirely on music and visuals to tell a powerful story. It is a beautiful film that illustrates the power of the short. The combination of different medias gives the film a mesmerizing look. See it.

One of the most beautiful and poignant animated shorts I've ever seen, if not the most. Unfortunately, I got to see it only once and didn't get a chance to fully take it in, and there was definitely a lot there to take in. Some beautiful animation and a beautiful story about what happiness really is. Full of symbolism and a look at a future which may not be far off. Shows that happiness doesn't come in a box or any other sort of artificial means. Something which most of the world doesn't and probably never will get.

...because films like "More" really deserve it.

This is the kind of work that makes me want to quit my job and learn stop-action animation. It's amazing how much life you can infuse into a simple construction of clay-and-wire with a camera.

The world needs more short films like this! Let's start a petition to have a short flick preceding EVERY feature film. (Maybe that would make the $8 ticket price less of a punch in the eye.)

That's the first word that came to mind after I watched this film. It is a sad, yet also touching study into the worth of happiness, and the repetition and dead-endness of working class jobs. This film was done using stop-action claymation and is probably one of the best (if not the best) one made. It was nominated for a 1998 Academy Award for Best Short Animated Film. Some screenings are available on the net, so if you ever come across it, check it out!

Wow. Who would have thought the entire meaning of life could be summed up in 6 minutes. The greatest of this film is its greatest irony, considering it questions the worth of success based on material wealth. The piece fits its soundtrack (Elegia by New Order) excellent as well. It's a shame this short lost out in the 1998 Oscars, I'd like to think that the voters had a chance to see it before deciding (although they probably didn't.) A definite 10.
