Best Animated Film |
I am not sure I have ever had to process really bad news – I am lucky perhaps, but most deaths have been timely, few accidents have been overly serious, but generally I do find that my reaction to bad news is to have a slight smile. Watching Modern Family recently there was one character who struggled with this too (well, for the purposes of a plot in one episode) and likewise with this short I felt that connection.
Eggplant is an unique film in format, narrative and themes. It is filmed using 2D animation, not the uber-ubiquitous 3D, shot in bold flat colors.
