Synopsis

The second edition of Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt's latest touring show of animation. Hertzfeldt, whose stick-figure masterpieces Rejected and Billy's Balloon are perennial favorites, unveils his latest, The Meaning of Life. It's joined by 11 other wide-ranging shorts, including the manic, inspired claymation work of Ward 13, Bill Plympton's Guard Dog, which plunges us into demented mind of an overprotective canine, and Hello about a boom-box boy trying to win the heart of a techno-girl.

Reviews

"This second incarnation of the Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt-produced animation anthology is, if anything, even better than the first."

   - Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle

"Animation fans, no matter their stylistic preference (computer-generated, claymation, old-school hand-drawn), will find much to sate their appetites in this collection of award-winning and critically acclaimed work. There’s not a dud in the bunch."

   - Ernest Hardy, LA Weekly

"Over too soon."

   - Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
