    King of Absurd and Dark Humor

    OK, so as it was said before, this goes 100% against the main current of blockbuster. This short is very well done, the script is very smart and the graphics are amazing ! Now, this is definitely not for everyone... your need to be quick to catch jokes and references... But if you do, then, it's a real pleasure ! In 12 minutes, they packed a crazy amount of things... the concept is great, and it's really really well executed. Watch it, and make your own opinion ! Can't wait for the full season...

    Insanely beautifully crafted.

    One of the best animation shorts I've seen in a long time that caters to my kind of humor. Insanely beautifully crafted. Animation, humor, and dialogues are spot on! Music, sound effects, and tension are delightful. Even Vimeo staff praised it and put it center stage in its top picks for a reason. Can't wait for the whole season 1 to start! Even my mom laughed out loud :)

    I really liked the social interaction of the design team with us the audience. We got an up-close and personal story behind this production which made me love this even more. 10 stars from me.

    Fresh, smart and hilarious!

    If you're tired of the expected Black Holes is for you! I have no interest in 3D animation, too formatted (probably for profitability reasons) but Black Holes really stroke me. It's an amazing breath of fresh air. The visual style, characters, tone, sound design... everything is spot-on. Personally I really enjoy this kind of humour, in the same vein as Monty Python, Quentin Dupieux (director of Rubber who is credited on the score and sound design here), the Cohen Brothers sometimes, H2G2, etc... Can't wait to see the series.

    good point

    A large and complex embroidery. Cultural references, irony in high levels, absurde situations, realism used in special manner. And something giving status of fascinating to a short animation about Cosmos a melon and a not so happz Dave.

    Absolutely Brilliant

    Black Holes is one of the most EXCITING short film I've ever seen, I want to thank and salute the creators for the masterpiece they offered to the public with such generosity! I loved everything about it : it's BEAUTIFUL, very WELL CRAFTED, ORIGINAL, UNSETTLING, CLEVER, FUNNY... The list is endless. The satirical tone and the attention to details give access to several layers of understanding. What seems to be flimsy and dumb on the surface is actually very RICH and DEEP. The references are BRILLIANT. I found the rhythm and storytelling absolutely perfect. The parallel between humanity's thirst for greatness and knowledge (symbolized by science and space exploration) and the fragility of our condition (self-consciousness, insecurity of the main character) is amazing and hilarious. Apparently the creators are working on a SERIES. There has never been a 3D animated series of that quality on TV ever! This would be a REVOLUTION. I can't wait.
