Slick and entertaining with cool animation
bob the moo14 November 2003
Molly is taken on holiday by her parents to the Mediterranean. However Molly is really on her first mission as a secret agent, her mission: to free Yatkumchatka from whatever it is that is enslaving it. She cannot fail yet there are many obstacles in her way before she can succeed.

Continuing the trend of Blackwatch films being clever, imaginative and fun, this film cleverly mixes styles and realities to comic effect where you're not sure which side of the film is real - but are enjoying it too much to care. The plot jumps around between the holiday and the holiday as Molly sees it. Some of it is clearly her imagination going wild, but other bits are very real in presentation. This mix makes it interesting.

The style is very good too, the short merges between the two realities and is a really cool spy type of presentation, music and mood. The humour comes from the imagination of the short and it works very well. The voice work is very good and works well to help the mood of the film.

While it may not be the most meaningful short in the world, that is not important, as it does what it sets out to do and is entertaining and enjoyable. The animation is very slick and very cool throughout. If you have yet to see a Blackwatch short then this is a good indication of what you can expect from Nicola Black's productions, professional, entertaining, clever and a showcase of imagination!
