Cute Animated Short Film- DAMNED

(Video Link)

Despite the name some extremely conservative folks will find a bit crude, Damned is a damn fine, gosh darn adorable animated short by Richard Phelan about a beaver who wishes for a way to keep the mega-dam he has built from being damaged, the product of his dreams of building the next Hoover Dam.

The hand drawn quality of the short is mighty appealing, and the storyline is simple animal character animation at its finest, with themes of sacrifice for the good of others, dreaming big and watching those dreams come tumbling down. It’s a delightful way to spend ten minutes, and despite a length that seems long the story moves along nicely and keeps you tuned in to the bitter end.

The guy waving looked like a camper/hiker to me. Notice all his gear? He was probably just waving to call attention to himself and his gear - "don't run me over". Or maybe he was just lonely. Either way you don't normally hitch a lift on a dirt bike, escpecially carrying all that gear.

The Japanese text with the YT video says this is a part of the "old national highway No. 222", near Miyakojono in Miyazaki Prefecture. (Google Translate is your friend.)

It's not surprising either. The mountains of Japan are full of old roads and trails like this. When a landslide destroys a large piece of a road, they just build a new one elsewhere.

(Don't bother looking this up on English Wikipedia, the articles about the Japanese road system are poorly written and lacking in references. BTW, did you know that all the major divided highways in Japan are toll roads? They're expensive, too.)
