(Screened as part of the myFrenchFilmFestival.com that is underway only on screens - the TV link does not work for most of the features and the shorts, no matter what anyone else might tell you).
Well, this one was a welcome relief when it screened just after 'Aissa', due to the heavy material the latter showcased in its 8 minutes.
This one's shorter, but acted as a welcome put-no-thought-and-have-a-break kinda respite.
However, it also did have something to say, a la 'Wall-E', where humanity is represented as being overtly technology-dependent, and where an accidental 'short' causes/forces the lone human to actually stretch his muscles, for a change.
The way it has been enacted evokes entertains and evokes genuine laughter at the character's predicament, and the irony of it all, and was staged very imaginatively, with the film-makers using the means at their disposal, taking full advantage of the milieu of animation.
A good way to act as a bridge between heavy-stuff being played in the other shorts. Worth a watch for sure.
