It's short. It's cute. And if you have any memorable experiences or strong opinions regarding homosexuality, this short gives an interesting parallel perspective. Plus, it's claymation!

Well made and clever

Warning: Spoilers
This film is included on a DVD entitled "Shorts: Volume Three". Oddly, I have seen volume One already and Three is definitely much better--though both are worth finding for lovers of short films like myself.
This film is done in claymation and is a metaphor for gay rights and discrimination. The title is a play on the phrase "gay pride"--as in this short film, claymation characters face discrimination from "normals". The story centers on a young clay man and his single father and everything they talk about could easily have the word "gay" substituted for "clay". An interesting and very inventive parallel with decent (though not spectacular) claymation.
By the way, in a very clever twist, you have an interview in the middle of the film with a clay man that is afraid to "come out". It's obvious by the silhouette that it's Gumby!
