Synopsis
In a fantasy world, life-size cardboard animations interact with children clad in clown wigs, monkey masks, and princess costumes. Together, they host a carnival of surreal goings-on.
Editorial
Suzan Pitt invites us to a procession decorated with balloons, confetti, and the odd bit of flatulence in this outrageously enjoyable short. Mixing a cast of performers into her stop-motion world of idiosyncratic illustrations, the filmmaker amps up the slapstick humor and revels in topsy-turvy fun.
