This makes 'Fruity Oaty Bars' look quite sane and downright conservative.
Also, it's rather distressing.
I guess that means it succeeds?
I don't know if I think it's beautiful or gross. I guess it's both! Very cool.
Where is Ludwig Wittgenstein when we need him?
All kidding aside, I think the message is an aphorism about the Bush White House. Sort of.
And good.
Anyone look closely at the japanese advert ? happy little pigs being chopped into giblets ...
I'm going to be dreaming this tonight
That wolves should need stories of meals too?
Nice find.
The only poor translation was from Russian to English. The Russian narration was quite good. Too bad the English subtitles were written by someone who had clearly never listened to the Russian.
Um, that was the whole point.
(The text and spoken Japanese went off in totally separate directions, BTW.)

The "old Russian style" the filmmaker cites actually only belongs to ONE animator, Yuri Norstein, who last I checked is still alive and continues to work after 30+ years, with minimal recognition outside of animation circles. "Forest in Winter" is an impressive film, but it owes its existence, all of the "Russian" visual elements (textured cut-out techniques, color schemes, angles & perspectives... plus the narrated folktale thing) to Norstein's films from the 70s and 80s, Hedgehog in the Fog and Tale of Tales. Nothing wrong with being influenced, but please, folks, give credit where credit is due.
