I saw this short at the first Spike 'n Mike Festival of Animation I went to and it's still one of my favourites. The character design of the janitor is really beautiful--spindly and graceful against his clumsy personality. The dialogue is just so charming as this bumbling man he tells of forgetting his checkbook when he goes to red paint for Mars and then running back because it was the wrong colour... all the while not realizing he left the rain running back on Earth--forty days and forty nights worth in fact. Good thing Noah built that Ark... |
