Info

This amusing short animation tells of a polite and timid young minister with a major shortcoming: he just cannot bring himself to say goodbye, and this causes him great grief and considerable consternation. On the first day of his vacation to visit friends, Melpomenus somehow stays and stays until, on the last day of his holiday, he finally departs in an unexpected way. Based on the Stephen Leacock short story, the film is set to toe-tapping ragtime music.

The Awful Fate of Melpomenus Jones Audience Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
