Oktapodi: Animated Short Film about an Octopus

I love animation. Computer generated, hand-drawn, 3D, 2D, stop-motion—makes no difference to me; as long the movement is dynamic and the story is engaging, I’m all for it. Especially if it’s a short film. They’re just the right length for my tiny attention span.

This short film about an octopus won overwhelming critical acclaim at a horde of foreign film festivals. And it’s easy to see why: the artistry is bright and fun, the pace is brisk and the action is delightfully slapstick.

If you’re interested, there’s also a making-of video about the movie here.
