Polly Gone (1988)
Animation, Short • 0h 3m
But I really quite like this one. Rather than settling for being just another industrial demo or commercial, Polly Gone sets out quite gleefully to do it's own thing; disregarding any attempts at realism and ignoring conventions, this bizarre cartoon displays...I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to portray? The day in the life of a computer program? There's some verisimlitude to real life (cleaning house, getting the mail) but does it in the most absurd manner possible. The way the short goes out of it's way to commit what would otherwise be considered animation mistakes, it insted employs graphics glitches such as objects clipping through the camera to create it's own unique look. In a way, it almost predicts the kind of video game glitches we now make fun of.
