Oktapodi by Gobelins



Done by:

This short 3D Animation with accompanied music by Kenny Wood's score which definitely sets the pace of this work.
The story is about two octopuses trying to escape being captured and eaten. What I like about this animation is that it has beautiful visuals, the environment and storyline fits and works well. The characters actions have been exaggerated and just like old animations seen on cartoon network the octopuses have been given human emotions, which I think helps bring the comedy to this. It shows how you can convey a story in a short amount of time with the right timing.
I would definitely watch it again, the ending is also what helps finish this off nicely when after fighting with the delivery man, a seagull takes one of the octopuses and the viewer can see that the chase starts again, so the situations that the main storyline can be set in is endless.
