Another an entry in the "unrehearsed-audio-clips-set-to-animation" genre typified by Creature Comforts.

The short's visual style is sweet and understated. The character animation is spot-on - particularly the girl's body language as she narrates the story - and the sepia tones compliment the rather worn soundtrack perfectly. There are plenty of nice touches illustrating the story: Herodias is depicted as an oddly European king, while Jesus makes a brief appearence standing on a lake holding a fishing rod.

Give Up Yer Aul Sins isn't a didactic religious animation like Veggie Tales, and it's not truly a parody in the vein of Simpsons Bible Stories, either. Despite a mildly irreverent undercurrent, the short is ultimately a celebration of the cute 'n' innocent.

It was an nice little title, The little girl telling the story was cute and interesting. But it really isn't that entertaining and only somewhat funny, but take a look at it anway.

I thought it was brilliant. Having heard the recordings some years ago, I think that the animation complimented the audio really well. It brings the excellent recordings even more to life. One must remember that this was totally unscripted and unrehearsed content from a time when the one TV station available only broadcast sometime in the evening!

There are a lot of cartoons out there that needlessly illustrate existing audio recordings. I've never seen one that adds anything to what you can get from just listening to the recording, and neither does this one. The recording itself isn't even that great to begin with. The little girl doesn't say anything remarkable or funny. This was a complete waste of my time.
