Run & Roll

Good lord, it's a Tanaami film that's NOT full of phallus noses and random penises!
Okay, there are some pointy long noses, but it's not nearly as obvious as much of his other work. Also, no strobe effects! You can watch it without threat of seizures or eye pain.
I realize this might sound like faint praise, but those were the main detractors, in my mind, to almost all of the other films by Tanaami that I've seen. The man is an amazing graphic pop artist, but it's hard to enjoy a riotous explosion of color and form when the lighting direction ... leaves you with a blinding headache. Run & Roll may be nothing but a wordless, one minute ad, but it is full of colorful artistic expression and crazy character forms safe enough for the whole family. Give this tiny bit of random fun a try.

art- background changes were smooth and clean. Unless you were really looking for it you would not notice it.

plot/message: there was a kind message told here. it was do what you want outside with friends and play. Sometimes messages in life in art or video form are really focusing on certain people from what it appears to show. For example the modern laundry detergent ad in China debate. The goal was to express the effective of the clean but others see something else. I can see both sides but i don't think the negative side was intended. Going back to ... what i was saying about certain people having wacky weird characters that bare no close resemblance to any race makes for a perfect set-up to prevent racist ideas. Therefore everyone who sees this show can benefit from this message without wondering if it was for them or not.

plot- very bland. To me it was nothing more than a strip art on a long film strip. Meaning there was no cut in film it just kept going and going and going. Like following the energizer bunny in its walking time.

plot/message- i got the positive message because i am a deep thinker. i don't think children will pick that same message up without explanation. which why they should have had a caption line or two to explain the purpose.
art- was a tad bright.
