Mar 19, 2011 - I think the music is not synchronized with the image. It should start at 0:11 but it starts earlier. Big difference when you see the original!

Jun 17, 2011 - So glad I grew up in a time when weird, arty animation was all over MTV, BBC2, Channel 4 and Nicklelodeon. Viva the 90s!

Jul 9, 2011 - All of their videos creep me out, and I'm 18. Lol. But the Quay Brothers are GENIUSES! Their work is just absolutely brilliant.

Sep 26, 2011 - I feel curiously frightened. They ARE geniuses, and remind me of the SAW movies, not in a bad way1

CharloteRose Says:

Oct 27, 2011 - Kinda reminds me of Monty Python..the makers have to have very strange, but interesting minds.

pievspie Says:

Oct 29, 2011 - creeps me out now at 37 so its not a child like fear but a deep scare built on nightmares

Mickyeahh Says:

Nov 29, 2011 - I like him. I bet he's harmless.

BlackRaven156 Says:

Dec 12, 2011 - Wow, sublime genius! Yes creepy indeed and I can't put my finger on why. How could anyone reject this in anyway, it's brilliant.

insensiblegradations Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - Everybody knows the BBC has been steadily dumbing down and going downhill for years. So no surprise that whoever commissioned the Quay Brothers and then rejected this marvellous little work was too stupid to recognise genius when it was staring them in the face.

minespatch Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - The opening reminds me of Don Hertzfeld's short Rejected.

Cooksto Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - Des clous débordaient du plafond,d'un doigt léger , j'en ai cueilli un, telle une paille je l'ai plongé dans cet encrier qui naguère était un crane, onctueusement j'ai brassé la plume dans ce liquide malicieux.

Cooksto Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - Sitôt que j'eus posé la hanche de la main sur la ouate du papier,celle-ci s'est démultipliée à la manière d'un vol d'oiseaux frénétiques.

Cooksto Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - Comme des cygnes sauvages, ils s'exécutèrent leur chorégraphies joyeuse et désordonnées ressemblait à un ballet de Ravel...

Cooksto Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - Les plumes tels des cygnes hirsutes et désordonnés se sont affairés chacune de leur coté.. Laissant de leur passage une trace précise. C'était un dessin, représentant un bout d'aile débordant d'idée et avide de liberté, tant et si bien que l'aile se mit à battre la chamade et ne tarda pas à se métamorphoser, passant du propre au figuré, du rêve au matériel.

Cooksto Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - .C'est alors que saisissant une balle au bond, je me suis emparé d'elle pour la placer au chaud derrière mon oreille comme un crayon de menuisier. On sait jamais , ça peut servir..
