Everything about this cookie-cutter short is on the nose, beginning with the barcode stamped on the puppet's head on the cover, along with the googly-eyes and the zipper-mouth. Entirely monotonous and uncreative in portraying the drudgery and conformity that it wants to present. Yes, all the kids look the same, they get the same grades, do the same things, and when one rebels, they all do. The adults wear smilie faces. All of the houses have smokestacks that add to the gray smog and the dismal atmosphere. "Dog go splat. Me save doggy. Me laugh." Neither the sound nor the visuals are appealing or memorable.One of the most retched and uncreative short films I've ever seen.
