BOOM, An Animated Short That Combines Terror and Hilarity



What do you do when a volcano begins to erupt on your island? You flee! But what if you are a bird couple and you have four eggs to protect? These avians do their best, but the father is a birdbrain, and the mother turns out to be not all that smart, either. Their antics are funny, but in the short film BOOM, you also get caught up in the danger. The whole island is exploding, and these birds do not seem to be able to fly. Yes, that brings up the question of how they came to be on the island in the first place, but don't spend too much time thinking about it. Will the family survive the eruption? Will any of them? This student film from the French animation school École des Nouvelles Images won quite a few awards around the world before it came to YouTube.

Interesting how it shows the bias in journalism. I counted maybe four people with glasses - one appears to be a pair of sunglasses - in that crowd of approximately 20 people. But the writer felt the "spectacles" were important enough to mention in the article, leading, without the picture, to inaccurate assumptions about the entire group.
