Warning: Spoilers
The little black comedy twist at the end displayed here might be quite predictable, but this brief short by Richard Webber works anyway thanks to its very nice animation, which effectively captures the innocent look of a preschool show, with its cutesy minimalism.

The claymation is quite well done, very lively looking, and expressive.

Even if the whole plot can be basically summarized into a very simple joke, it is still an enjoyable watching experience, effective in its execution and direct to point.

Short and sweet, without being any kind of "life-changing" experience. But it does not need to be something like that either. Sometimes, simple fun is just enough.

6.5/10.

The end defines it as a very useful parable. Fine reflection of the near reality. But not the end is the clue. The details, from the chewing rhytm to the skinny character steps to the bench. The looks, the expectation of the viewer, the fist of suppositions and, sure, yje new level of chewing. Short, just brilliant.
