Flatworld (1997)
8/10
A comedy that was amazing not for the jokes.

Warning: Spoilers
The short film 'Flatworld' was a highly entertaining movie to watch, with aesthetically intriguing ideas everywhere. The genre, if it had to be classified, would be a comedy, even though its not definitive. The film contains classic slapstick comedy, with the archetype of the 'cop, robber, and the framed' scenario. However, the real beauty of this film does not exist inside it's subtle humour or its well thought out plot. The real interest of mine of the film was inside the making of the film. The film used different types of animation to animate this movie, such as 3D graphics and cel animation. This brought upon the most interesting part of the movie: the mixture of 3D and 2D. The film incorporates the different types of animation into different scenes of the movie, such as characters being 2D and buildings being 3D. Even the plot is affected by this influence. This was one of the most intriguing ways to use stop motion I've ever seen. Even though it was an amazing film, The plot was a bit stereotypical, and easy to predict. However, the idea of the mixture of different types of animation definitely covered that issue up. Overall, 'Flatworld' was one of the most unique and funny films I've ever seen. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone, but especially animation lovers. The short film 'Flatworld' was a highly entertaining movie to watch, with aesthetically intriguing ideas everywhere.
