Pineapple Calamari

Pineapple Calamari is a short film that has been recently highlighted on many animation news sites. It was created as Kasia Nalewajka graduation film and was produced at the National Film and Television School. This stop-motion production features a racehorse named Pineapple Calamari and his life with the two caretakers that look after him. The short has a lot of shifts in tone over the course of ten minutes. It starts off on an overwhelming happy note, takes an unexpectedly morbid twist which then leads into a rather creepy situation. There are a few endearing parts thrown in however and the stop-motion, especially on the horse, and beautifully crafted sets definitely make it a short worth checking out.
