This short is from the Moviemark DVD Indie Shorts Project Vol. 1 (2006). It and the "bonus" short are both from Anthony Thurman--who wrote, directed, animated and provided the voice for the character. In fact, if you look on IMDb, you'll see he did everything in this film. Because of this and because he's so young, I won't be very hard on the film---especially because few people could do so much. He is very talented.
However, I have two bits of hopefully constructive criticism. First, although Thurman is an animator, I really would have liked to have seen this live action. The animation didn't seem necessary--especially since the story is pretty neat. Second, I liked the story idea and wanted the film to be longer or have a followup film. It was intriguing.
