Unclear but great animation
bob the moo12 December 2003
In the middle of woods inhabited by wolves, an astrologist imagines what it would be like to be a werewolf, running and howling through the woods in a schizophrenic blur instead of sitting in his home watching videos. Then the moon calls to calls to him.

Not quite sure to expect from this film, it started well with some great animation as a young girl is hunted by a wolf. It looks great, having all 2-D shapes but moving thought them in what feels 3-D. When it moves to the scientist it doesn't go as well but is still strong enough to hold the interest. Once the moon calls to the man it changes pace altogether and is like a frantic rave of visuals and audio, not that this is all a good thing you understand but it is certainly watchable!

The voice work is good and the dialogue is poetic enough to really hold the ear while the slick and clever animation holds the eye. While it may not make as much sense at the end as one would have hoped it is certainly worth a look. An imaginative short that has class in the animation and script.

Warning: Spoilers
A scientist becomes obsessed with the moon, and starts thinking wouldn't be nice to be a werewolf... I remember seeing an PS2 advert with clips from this and I remember thinking this is a really strange advert... I thought it was just a advert but I never knew it was a short film until about an hour ago when i watched it on Channel 4! I think this is a great animation, everything is in 2-D shapes and which looks like 3-D, which I think looks sort of creepy lol, I thought the film was sort of boring up till near the end when the scientist gos nuts and turns into "The Wolf Man"! and starts flying around on a rocket spaceship thing! and shouting things like "I am the wolf man! I have a spaceship made of pure carbon! It can smash through planets!" lol I though this was sort of freaky but really funny!

I recommend anybody to watch this because its strange and confusing great entertainment! I give it 10 out of 10
