THE SCENT OF SETH is all about a young girl lying in bed one night when a strange creature called Seth appears at her bedroom window , leads her by the hand and walks down town roads and country lanes . That's pretty much it as the story goes
It's an animated short and no offense to the director and/or animator but the animation is a little too minimalist for its own good . You know these picture books for children pre school age ? Well that's what the animation resembles , either that or the mid 1970s cartoon series ROOBARB AND CUSTARD
But I guess the main point of THE SCENT OF SETH is to put visuals to a poem since the narrator talks in rhyming couplets and I will praise the background music which sets the mood nicely without ever becoming intrusive
