To start off, I'm not even sure if I watched the whole thing. I just saw it on Hulu's YouTube account, and I am assuming that was the whole short. It's not the best thing in the world, but it does have a creepy face on the animatronic, so it did something right. It's fine for a short film; it delive ... rs its message and does it well.
