Here is a very unique animated short film called Bendito Machine IV - Fuel the Machines. In Spanish, Bendito Machine means blessed machine.The short was directed by Jossie Malis and is gorgeous and very odd. The music was done by Sxip Shirey and Joseph R. Coniff. This is what adds to the tone of the film.
