This FF has really started with a bang! The third movie of the Festival is this wonderfully hilarious movie from Ferret and Russ, about a hard-ass piece of bread and the struggles he faces through life. The comedy aspects are very funny, especially all the YTMND references. The use of v3dmm is fucking excellent, all the characters are textures and this leads to a 3dmm movie that actually looks like an animated cartoon. The scenery is bland in most places but works towards the style of the movie, the animation was great, and the voices were damn funny, Russ as Mean Bread truly shining. Overall, this is the best short of 2005 so far, a hilarious cartoon that shows off not only the wonders of v3dmm, but of Ferret and Russ when they collabarate. Let's hope the Mean Bread full-length gets released some time. Review by Tom Bown.
A thoroughly funny comedy, Mean Bread |
