The heart of old cartoons meets religious level
25 March 2012
Without saying much of anything, this cartoon has embodied what cartoons used to be like when they were thought out and had plot. This not only caters to those of open-minded humor but also gives people a chance to laugh at something taboo. It may never reach the acceptance level of the common viewer, but those who are educated and are not instantly offended by the idea of religious comedy can surely look past the gratuitous content and accept it as a whole. Eternal rivalry, independent goals, and the vying for the attention of a female have always been grand ideals to pursue. This short makes no exception, putting the well-known icons of Christianity into an anthropomorphic form and generally having fun with them. I especially enjoy the smooth animation style and how the scenes dissolve into one another at the appropriate times. I think that others will find how surprisingly accurate the characters are depicted and the idea that this film doesn't have much issue at all with language barriers. It's not a children's cartoon, but definitely for those who grew up on them around the early 90's.
