I love the fact that it was about a dead teenage boy who wanted a girl. It had a sense of humour but he won in the end :)

Put me in mind of those early silent comedy sketchs, the very first laurel n hardy, before they got together had a similar tone. But i did think the passing with some of the jokes were a bit slow, made the punch of the gag sag, I liked them though.

 
 

godivathecat11/1/05

Incredibly clever, frame by frame. I loved it!

Wasn't as entertaining as I'd hoped, but if you did like it then try playing "grim fandango" a pc game with very similar animation.

It was aweomse, I can see why it won so many awards. Great animation, great sound, it was all great. Reminded me of Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas, I don't know why... probably the fact two dead people fall in love. It's was great :)

"Where's the full length movie?" is all I have to say. Actually, I saw this one some time ago, but didn't remember it until after I started playing it again. It' still a belly buster. Hats off to all those envolved with the production.

jpgii6/16/05

excellent character design, and camera work makes some of the best comp anime that I've seen-by the way, why all the chinese/japanese titles? Fun stuff, adult humor with childlike innocence. Reminded me of Beetlejuice.

it's sort of like Grim Fandango, but not a lot. I like it ^_^

The plot is stolen from lucas arts adventure "grim fandango" on some way...

I thought the elegance of this film was quite inspiring. The mechanics and intricate plot line of this magnificent film truly touched my soul in a way my husband could not. Thank you very much.

i have loved atomfilms and the ifc channel for a very long time even if the have nothing to do with each other, they still play all the great independent films and series let your fans know if there is any way to keep the site going for as long as possible

Cinematography is outstanding. Thank goodness for those who still Dare to be Different. I don't expect short-attention-spans to get it though.

I loved this! Original, funny in a sick, twisted way, and Elvis was the bomb! More Elvis!

 
 

Jade71/14/05

This short was very creative and totally should be in the top ten. Reason, it's "Avant Garde"

I loved it. Great animation. Loved Elvis.

 
 

TheBigJB1/4/05

Gack. The animation is great, the characters and art design really cool, but it's just a series of little stories that aren't really that funny. Some bits made me smile, but I don't believe this deserves Top 10 at all.

 
 

ches12/29/04

Good animation, good sets, photography Ok. But where are the jokes? this purile humour is only funny to 3rd grade children. You need a plot before committing all that stop frame talent to....well no use at all. Write scriptm check script, test script and then the animation. Pointless drivel - and I could really do with a laugh, so minus 19 for failing so awfully.

Great animation! Loved the "Dead Like Me" music, too.

Ummm .... you know you're getting desperate when you put Elvis in your video. 'Nuff said.

 
 

rzabala00111/28/04

Really cute! I'd like to believe that love is eternal, and this shows that even dead people need love too! Plus the Elvis appearances and the flaher were hilarious.
