This short, nominated for an Academy Award, at first blush, seems rather simplistic and a trifle trite and ordinary. Amusing but minor, which is atypical of the NFBC as a general rule. But it benefits from more than one viewing and its very low-key nature works in its favor. The sense of the ordinary that permeates the whole short makes the situation even more amusingly absurd each time you see it and you begin to find layers-kind of like peeling an onion. Definitely worth the effort to seek it out. Canadians have somewhat easier access to NFBC's productions than others do. There is a website that sells videos, but only persons residing in Canada can order online, though they do sell elsewhere. Most worthwhile. Highly recommended.
