    OMG! This was made by people at my college! And I saw it at the premiere film night thing! :o Love this one, really nicely done and all :D One of my favourite 3d pieces from the last few years of student work.

    The red alien and the blue alien could easily have been marooned there.

    Hah. Rad. I knew it was going to end up all purple one way or another but still, super cute.

    Loved when they were running. Reminded me of that computer animation with the octopi.

    @Kalel- I see what you did there.

    Easily the cutest thing I've seen all day.

    Great animation, lame story. Why does every new young animator feel they have to PC us with something about cooperation, tolerance, or the dangers of pre-marital sex?

    @seefish3

    animation is unfortunately a very commercial medium. In order to get your work made on a professional level it has to be something that parents would want to show their kids. As this is a student film, students want something that will look good on their showreel. Simple stories with simple plots work well for this because you can focus entirely on the animation rather than the plot. It's hard to subvert expectations in a three minute film script. There are other much darker films from that year (one about suicide as I recall). But this is the best from that year's films.

    Boxbird made me ridiculously happy for some reason. :s
