Away from established masters to a plucky amateur we go with this next short animation, found and available via the magic of youtube. Confronted by a giant monster, a young lady’s fear is turned to delight with a lick of the monster’s giant tongue. But can this new friendship last?

This lo-fi work was director Jonathan Kim’s first-year film at Calarts. Featuring attractive anime styling (the monster looks remarkably similar to “Ta-Kun” from FLCL), the short’s sketch-like B&W charm is reminiscent of Hertzfeldt, as is it’s deliciously demented twist! Clocking in at 1:22, its definitely worth a viewing.
