Atlas Gets a Drink

Michael Overbeck created this odd little animated short. While the animation is NOT world-class, it is very good and the bright colors and non-stop action were very effective.

Wow. This is one of those animated short films that defies description and you just need to watch without thinking--otherwise your brain might explode. Seeing the film is akin to crawling inside the brain of an animator on LSD. The story is just a bizarre stream of consciousness that is a surrealistic nightmare. Don't question when you see creatures eating each other or when the act violent and bizarre---just enjoy. I particularly liked the end when you get to see Atlas himself as he takes a bit of a break.

Worth seeing and it will probably be appreciated most by those with a very high tolerance for non-traditional film making and animation.
