Story time

I'm Not Tired! from Birgit Rathsmann on Vimeo.

This short film―three stories and a frame in under 8 minutes―is just a brilliant combination of elements. There's the imaginative animation bringing darkly humorous stories to life. The child puppet is very expressive. I also like the dad, although the leather chair he sits in initially made me think he was a psychiatrist.

'I think the octopus story was a mistake.'
That was very good and really well made. I loved the muppet kid
and his dad was very droll without seeming to intend the effect.
He may not have been a psychiatrist but they do tend to be odd.

Certainly the octopus story was pretty freaky.

Yeah, I thought it worked on a few levels. Funny but also kind of sweet, with some very vivid animation.
