It's kind of difficult to write a review of a movie that is only two minutes long, so much that I wonder if it's really worth my time, but as I keep finding myself intrigued and entertained by movies of this length as much as movies of any other length, I just can't help sharing by recommending it to others.
I didn't know initially that the caricature I was seeing was of Kirk Douglas, but the stop-motion figures are so well designed they were almost immediately recognizable! The whole two-minute story is just one big saturation of Douglas-ness which anybody who's familiar with his work ought to appreciate.
It's a funny and well-produced little short. I especially like how each of the "different" characters were introduced and how well the whole thing flowed. Timing is sometimes really difficult in works like this, especially a work of animation, but this one pulled it off pretty precisely.
Oh, and the sight gag with the chins is one that will keep you laughing for a long time.
