Sunny Side Up

We are proud to finally present our latest, hopefully not our weirdest film, Sunny Side Up. It was relatively quick and easy to make / edit but as you can imagine it was the idea that was difficult to craft and eventually explain in a coherent fashion, imagine telling your friends about what you just saw. Please also note that you will not find this video just yet on our official Youtube page as were are currently creating a full version of the film which shows off our desired vision, the video you see currently is a 3 minute edit we have entered for an online competition, we hope that the full edition is superior and should arrive officially on our channel over the next few days; tomorrow if you're lucky!

I watched Paths Of Glory again with Jamie this afternoon, it was even better than I remembered, truly it is a film that shall never date and merely get better over time... like a fine wine. Deciding that I hadn't watched an animated film in ages I saw The Secret of Nihm as most people from the Internet (particularly the Nostalgia Critic) deem it to be one of the most underrated and overlooked films. The animation is very good for 1982 and there are some moments of wonderment but for some reason I just didn't fully get into the film. The characters at the beginning are irritating and the villain is introduced too late and his motives are horribly unexplained and the final climax felt very rushed and dare I say, tacked on, just so we could see the magical power of the amulet which was also questionable. I think it's pace was just a little bit too fast as it quickly raced to the next set piece, while it looks nice it just isn't really explained a to the extent it could have been.
