Happiness

The best short film i've seen this year, period. I never write reviews in here, but this time, I needed to say that.

In terms of animation, this is easily Steve Cutts's best work. He has drawn thousands of rats with animation which would have taken a few months to draw at least. It is more colourful than any of his other films. The film questions many things including mass mentality and human's greed among other things. The narrative might be confusing but the ending is great.

So much symbolic and meaningfull.Portrays present world with increasing population and thirst for money

Perfectly conveys the intended message. A thing of beauty with stunningly detailed visuals and an appropriately sweeping score. I loved the medicated fantasy scene!

Story: 9/10. It's not a groundbreaking narrative but it's handled so seamlessly and with an effective sense of humour.

Visuals: 9/10. The animation is very comic-book-like in a good way and makes for very immersive chaos.

Sound: 8/10. Good sound design and choice in classical music.
