You've got to watch this incredibly entertaining CG animated short film called "850 Meters." It's a medieval fantasy adventure comedy that I really enjoyed watching! I thought it was hilarious. The movie was written and directed by Joeri Christiaen, and this is the synopsis,
A not-so-brave knight is on a quest for Fame and Fortune - legend says rescuing a princess is the way to go. And in those same fairy tales, there's only one way to slay the dragon that hold the fair lady captive : find the invincible sword. To reach his goal, the knight is ready to go far. Maybe even as far as 850 meters...
I really hope you you enjoy this one as much as did. It's almost 15 minutes long, and it's worth your time to watch!

Need a quick, good laugh. Well, the minute-long teaser to 850 Meters got me cracking hard in relatively short time with the hilarious dramatic entrance. The brainchild of the film is Joeri Christiaen, the creator behind the mini-web series Plankton Invasion. Here's how the production house describes it:
The Quest of a Fame-and-fortune-hungry, wannabe hero, in a not-so-fairy tale!

Maybe even as Far as 850 meters...
850 Meters is a 10-minute animated comedy short currently in production. Originally created by Joeri in 2003, and after a couple of developments and a well-deserved nap on the shelf, the concept...
