I must say I was intrigued by this sadistic balloon world. Very clever (in an anti-Toy Story sort of way.)

cool cgi balloonery. Not quite sure i understand all of the parallelisms to the flick d'inspiracion (eg whassup with the desk fan staple gun skeet-shoot?)

So much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

you're saying this is related to reservoir dogs in some way? i'll have to go rewatch it. i remember something about an ear and gasoline, and nothing about a staple gun. huh.

I remember seeing this a few years ago when I was looking at buying Cinema 4D, although this clip looks like a new rendering.

When I saw the balloon guy in the chair, I thought "but he doesn't have any ears to cut off!" And then I realized this was balloon world and everything is different in balloon world.

Balloons do have nipples, though. Sort of. And only one per. But its a start... oh nevermind.

I had thought Wired's Animation Express went off-line some time ago. Is there a way to go in the "front door," so to speak, and browse the animation collection?

wah, no thank you! As many have noted, its not a perfect recreation and some of its just downright strange. But the look, feel and weirdness of it were cool enough to post, I thought. I'm glad most folks enjoyed or appreciated it.

That was cool! It's not a direct blow-by-blow, but the location is definitely the same, and the Casio is awesome.

tres cool. I was a bit confused with the balloon pigs and the staple gun, but it was just fantastic. I agree, the Casio made it.

Oh good, this just made it easier for me to watch that brutal scene. My stomach turns when the ear comes off. I wonder how they'd make something to spoof Tim Roth screaming in the back seat of the car, covered in blood...

I loved how the bloodstain was still on the ramp.
