Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
vccortexlikespie An incredible mix of disturbing and absurd with a children's show setting. The songs have been stuck in my head for days, and while watching I both laughed and shriveled up into a shivering ball. This is a great series of short films for thos who love absurdity.
toomeytheboss This looks like a weird ripoff from the Muppets. It is just hard to explain. When one of the characters was putting gold glitter on a heart I just freaked out and wondered if this meant anything. I'm ready to watch the next one! It is weird and but it isn't that bad!
zigovec This is the first episode in a six episode series of short films don't hug me im scared. This was a really strong opening for a YouTube series this kind of story telling and design can be seen on television, yeah it's that good but do not show that to your kids. This show is not for kids because it's a horror spoof on children's TV programs. And I have to say that it's worth your time.
bob the moo Three non-threatening puppets sit around a table while a singing notebook encourages them to be creative. This is the simple idea here and it is laid out to be a very convincing children's television show as the notebook sings about imagination and creativity in a very generic way. This song is catchy but also has some really great lines and moments – "green is not a creative color" being my favorite because it made me laugh and also reminds us that generally trying to "teach" creativity will just need to reinforce bounds rather than encourage freedom.The notebook gets what it wants as the three characters start to explore whatever comes to their imaginations, leading to some disturbing images and situations which very quickly take the cheerful little short out of the world of kids TV and into the dark world that lies inside. It is very cleverly done because it is funny, spot on as a satire and really well made. I see that the film has 12 million views on YouTube and, although I had never heard of it, I am not surprised that it struck a chord.
