highly original

Though apparently steeped in symbolism and allegory that mostly went right over my head, this animated short is still highly enjoyable on a purely entertainment basis. This head-scratchingly surreal film effectively (and amusingly) creates a fully developed universe that operates under different - but somehow internally consistent - logic than our own. The voice-over narration is wonderfully pompous and incoherent, and who can ever forget the character of Miss Nipple, the self-punishing elevator button? Great music, too.

there are no such things as hamburgers

come to think of it. there are no such things as rabbits either. This film is utterly bizzar but absolutely hilarious. I have seen it many times after it aired on late night television and am still trying to figure out it's full meaning. If you get a chance to see it I suggest you do if you have a taste for the absurd. Great music, great animation, some of the voices are rather strange. All in all 10 out of 10. I've never seen anything like it before.

a giant bass is better than having your name written on your face.

Diego should have just taken that damn egg and thrown it away, says Mister Chewing Gum. The Carrot doesn't agree, but the Bottle opener has an open mind. When the elevator goes down, you you think Helmut learns to stand? and who will finally pull the plug on the receptionist. The world is full of mysteries, and if you have a bicycle with round wheels, take it to the repair shop immediately and have the square ones placed. If you want to find this place you must borrow a map from Michael Jackson. Never mind that it's drawn on a fat lady. Is this something a rabbi might type? when you look at this text closely, do you start seeing carrot rain? just wait, and never mind Steffi.

How can I begin to respond to something so bizarre. First of all, I don't speak the language. I have no idea what the narrator is saying. The recurring characters are fascinating and surreal. Their activities seem to be going in some direction. i don't know what. Carrots and rabbits are at the center of everything--maybe eventually everything is a carrot or maybe it isn't. Well, I'm glad I got to experience it.
