The choice of the title creates a miss direction in the story
which is very clever. For those people that have worked in a bar know what
this is like, having a big guy come in to your bar and demands a drink and it is
the complete opposite of what you were thinking he would order. By
pushing the extremes of this and changing it to a cocktail for a Viking set
back in the day and age of only having beer or wine it creates a good laugh out
of this short film. The animation is good, the only thing I noticed was
that the waiters hand freezes in time and does not move on the hold. The art
style is good and the use of lights creates a great focal point on the main
character. The staging could have been a little better, having the main
character off to the right a little more. This would allow a little more room
for the waiters hand on screen and draw your eyes to him a little more.

It's pretty funny. You think he's upset about the type of drink, but just that he didn't get an umbrella. I like the character design too.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an episode of Futurama. Bender says to the bartender "I'll have a fuzzy navel and she'll have the girliest drink in the house."
the bartender says "Two fuzzy navels coming up."
