This film has been on the internet for a few years now. But I can’t resist sharing one of the most amazing pieces of animated story telling I’ve ever seen. Fallen Art is a Polish animated short film that depicts the insanity of… war? Listen, I have to confess, I’m not totally sure what this film is trying to tell us. I have several interpretations. Every time I watch it, I interpret it differently and I’ve watched it many times over. The literal storyline has an officer commanding obedient solders to walk off a plank to their imminent death. The reason why is morbidly insane. It’s for a motion picture that another animated character is creating which depicts solders dancing. But they aren’t dancing. They are dead.
It’s crazy. It’s brilliant. The animation is outstanding. The storyline is layered with hidden messages. You will want to watch this more than once. I promise you that.

World Builder is written and directed by Bruce Branit. The plot gives a man the power to create a virtual world for his wife or sister or girlfriend. We never get to really know his relationship with the woman who he creates this world for. We just know he loves her and that she is critically ill. As a matter of fact, we get to know very little about the characters in this story which makes the storyline flat, long and boring. The visual graphics are great. The colouring and camera work is very good. Do I recommend this film? Not really. But if you are in the industry or are a movie buff you might enjoy it simple for the visuals in the film.

For that reason, I only half squash this pumpkin. But don’t complain to me that I didn’t warn you about the thin plot and character study.
