The award-winning animated short film Ducks starts out cute with a baby observing a normal day in the park, and gets cuter- for a little while. And then nightmare fuel starts creeping in. Don't let that stop you; there's no real horror here, just a throwback to the bizarre cartoons of the early internet. The first thing we learn is that not all ducks are the same. They can vary in surprising ways. They don't appear to be completely nefarious, but you get a sneaking suspicion that they could be.
It's not until the very end of the short that you realize it's a public service announcement. You might even be able to guess what it is along the, but only if you know and care about ducks. For most people, it will be a complete surprise. This film is by AJ Jeffries, who has an extensive catalog of cartoons you might want to check out.
