Synopsis

It started as a sociological experiment. Six different people were brainwashed to think that they were a family and then put in arbitrary situations to see how they would react; however, when a taping of the families conducts is sold in a desperate attempt to make a little capital, it instantly becomes a success. Now the family is a first rated show and their every move is broadcasted around the world without them knowing it. But when a clogged toilet sets off a chain of events that ultimately frees the family from the room they are confined in the broadcasters, not willing to lose their source of income, set out to hunt down and recapture every member of the Eternal family.

this little chunk of stuff was so full of masterful storytelling on multiple levels. really interesting music/sound design, the animation was simple and well done, the characters were great (so great that its sad there isnt more of them than this 30 minute short)

However, I wouldn't recommend that anyone waste their time watching this. Even if you're like me and trying to watch every single animation ever produced.

I like randomness, so just ...
