The Boy Who Cheated Death

This melancholy and poignant mixed media art film by a team headed by Pipou Phuong Nguyen was made in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon last year. The music is Pink Floyd’s “The Great Gig in the Sky.” The cartoon itself may be a little abstract, so the description lays out the story.

In a world blurring reality and imagination, Syd, a little 8-year-old boy faces his mother’s impending demise. Desperate to hide from the grasp of Death, they embark on an imagined hide-and-seek game, morphing into Earth’s creatures. Death plays along as their relentless predator.

The images are lovely, rendered in different animation styles for each sequence. But you already know who wins in the end. -via Laughing Squid
