Sixty Second Love Story
Reviewed by: Angus Wolfe Murray
There's a party going on. Across the (crowded) room, he sees her.
WOW! Double WOW!!
His heart goes pop and lands on the floor. He's in love. She, on the other hand, can't be fished. Unrequited, he moans and squeals, sticks forks into his eyes. Love IS pain!
This is a two-hander, complete with a falling star. The figures are plasticine flatties, with wire legs. Every detail is hilarious.
There is no narrative voice. What can be said about rejection, but "Arrrrr!!!"?
The production values are exquisite, the comic touches inspired, the imagination on high energy alert. Buzz, Woody and the gang take note: there's a new kid on the block and his name is Brian Demoskoff and he's taking animation into realms Mr Potato Head can only dream about.
