The Tale of How by The Blackheart Gang

This is bar none my all-time favorite animated short. Sometimes I don’t even watch it. I just let it play on loop and listen to the awesome lyrics and incredible sound design. But every time I do watch it I’m always blown away. 

It’s the first part of a trilogy that still has yet to materialize. But if it takes a while to produce this kind of quality I’m willing to wait. 

The opera might throw a lot of people off. But trust me it’s completely and totally worth it. 

I would very much like a shirt that says “The Future Is Red” or “My Name Is Eddie And It’s A Pleasure To Meet You”

If the style seems familiar you might recognize the group’s other work on Friskies advertisements and that Sea Orchestra advert for United Airlines. 

I saw this at Spark a few years ago. I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder! It was quite the treat to see it again.

Frabjous.
