"love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea"

submission: A Tea Party...

date: April 9, 2008

"A Tea Party" is the kind of movie - not quite ubiquitous, but not exactly rare either - in which the accidental connection between a lonely city dwellerand his dolls is given a magical glow of serendipity and seeks out mystical patterns in the drab fabric of modern existence. It mostly avoids the self-conscious cuteness that is the inevitable side effect of whimsical surrealism, and it explores difficult feelings without descending into easy sentimentality. The dominant emotion experienced by the movie's character seems to be disappointment - the vague, drifting sense of expectations slowly deflating under the pressure of everyday life - but the film's spirit is refreshingly playful and sweet!

Good shit, buddy. If it wasn't for your shameless self promo I would never have seen it. Nice quick animation for the throat cut and nice pause afterwards which gives time to let it all set in -almost forced a laugh out of me.

I love the character design. I'm a fan of Batman The Animated Series and it seems you've adopted a similar style. The entire animation looks great. At some points the vioce acting was a little dull. For example, Owen should have been yelling to warn to cloaked figure who was running towards the farm. The rest of the sound is excellent. You're tweening, perspectives and action positions are outstanding. I've always enjoyed your shorts.
