This short is weird, to put it simply. There isn't really a story or plot, this is just a ten minute view of a world. And what a world! A distopian landscape of dead trees and corpses inhabited by monstrous insects, flying leviathans and unfortunate people. The people are dismembered, used as hosts for insect larvae, and are frequently eaten and defecated. If you've ever seen the hell scenes by Hieronymus Bosch, particularly the Garden of Earthly Delights, there is great similarity. The work also echos the misfortune of Edward Gorey's cartoons and the absurdities of Monty Python. ...

That was an awesome animation about the animators nightmares, it was made in the 70s one guy made, excellent animation the backgrounds are all surreal. Seems like nature is telling the guy "watch out for parasites and shit" great stuff if only more people would animate their nightmares. Btw for those who think that the animation is shit, note that it was all done by one man in the 70s who had limited equipment so appreciate his ability to tranlate his dream onto paper I doubt you could do the same.

I gave it a 1

time was not 10 minutes but more 9 minutes and 30 seconds
This is not anime but art
no vocals
the music is that of a dream sequence much like the art

The art even though i hated this had some pros and cons. If you want good test if you can handle strange events trying watching this. Warning it can make you ill.

Some cons. The animation was repetitive. The artist(s) kept using transformation in their work. There was no story line. Sure there was some follow threw with some of the sketches but mostly you are jumping back and forth between things.
