Adam Pesapane (also known as 'PES') has created several very strange short animated films. I say strange because instead of using drawings, he uses everyday objects and animates them using stop-motion or similar means (such as skipping frames) to make the things appear to be moving or alive. In his most famous short, "Roof Sex", two stuffed chairs have sex--complete with sound effects from what appears to be a couple of people actually having very athletic sex! Here in "Western Spaghetti", a VERY simple idea (someone making a pot of spaghetti) is accomplished using everything BUT the ingredients from spaghetti--such as candy corn, foil, a Rubix Cube, pickup sticks, yarn and many other mundane objects. It's all VERY clever and exceptionally well done--but also way too short--so short you are left wanting more. Still, it is very good and worth your time if you, too, love animated shorts.

This looks like one of those YouTube shows where people teach you how to cook any given recipe. In this case, a spaghetti dish. The cooking procedures and ingredients used in this film are those you can expect in a spaghetti dish, but no real ingredient is used. Those are replaced but daily-life objects that have some resemblance with the ingredients to be used (in shape, texture or color), from the boiling water, to the salt+pepper on top.

The animation is basic but very effective. What stands out to me is the creativity in the selection of the objects and ingredients of the recipe. It makes one think of the objects that surround our daily life, of how much we take for granted their shapes, colors and textures.

This is a quite enjoyable short film. No story, or just a cooking recipe story, but the approach is quite inventive, fresh and humorous and, I really loved it.

This is an utterly delightful two minute short that shows the amazing creativity that a filmmaker can have. It's stop action with a direction, that is to take mundane objects and have them morph into food. The cuts are beautifully done and so much fun. Loved it.

it is a challenge to say what is the most significant ingredient of this short film. the correct recipe ? the imagination expressions ? the realism given by stop motion ? or, only, the status of part from a provocative and seductive, in same measure, project ? important is the perspective about near things. and, maybe, about us. and reality. and the secret charm of cooking.
