Sunday (2011)

A youngster who lives in a town routinely shaken to it's foundations by the passing freight trains is a rather reluctant visitor to church on Sunday. This is followed by the ritual visit to his grandparents where his family all congregate and he is left largely to his own devices. He likes to put coins on the railway track and have the trains flatten them but on this particular day an encounter with a peckish polar bear changes things up a bit for him. I did quite like the darkness of the humour - some rather ravenous crows scavenging on some road kill, but the standard of the animation is just a little too basic and the narration more mumbling than speaking. Still, it's quite an innovative exercise and is worth ten minutes.
