This was a perfectly distracting short that coasts a lot on nostalgia. It's animation style captures the feel of the book quite admirably. Though I do wish their accents were a bit less...contemporary.
One thing it lacks is that the book had this sinister undertone that is now lost since it the time has been padded out. But it would be unfair to judge the short on those terms.
While not quite as low key creepy as the book, the way this short meanders from comical so masochistically alarming is pretty fresh.
Now all that's left is for me to meet the word count limit and I am going to do that this way.
