Welcome to this week’s Danny’s Picks! Today I have a short film (very short film) called “Little Big War.” Made in 2011, tt’s another short film by Wolf Smoke Animation Studio, which I featured in a past pick: Kungfu Cooking Girls.
The film features the “super-flat” animation style reminiscent of several Gainax or Studio 4°C animations such as Dead Leaves, Red Line or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The general story here seems to be a war inside the sick boy’s body. The two heroes dressed in white seem to be white blood cells (the immune system) while the disease is represented by the toxic city/soldiers with gas masks. The short film is a great example of a very direct, poignant story told visually through fabulous animation
Whoa, that was very slick. Hear what you are saying too about the super-flat animation style. Did see some shades of Gainax in there. Really liked that one, especially as at the end you totally piece it all together and it is a brilliant way of illustrating the subject. Very crafty piece, like it. Good stuff man!
Thanks Chris, yeah it’s really nice just how much they were able to jam into so little time!
