Glued: A Short Film

Tuffcub 16 Comments


After the seemingly endless Gamescom trailers, I think we all derserve a little Friday afternoon wind-down and this short film is perfect.

Created by the 3rd year of animation students at Bezalel Academy of the Arts, ‘Glued’ is the tale of a little boy and his video game addiction.

Well worth four and half minutes of your time, this short is Pixar quality in both style and emotional impact – upper lips may tremble during the final few frames.

  1. I’m not going to lie, I feel mildly disturbed.

  2. psycho mum, just let the boy play!

  3. I’m not sure I really got it?

    His mum wants him to play outside, and when she finally makes him, he doesn’t know how to. Is that it?

    If your lip trembled at that, you seriously need to consider growing a pair!

  4. Why did you make me watch that short film
    It was scary. I mean really scary TC
    *Goes back on to PS3*
    P.S – I love the credits – nostalgia

  5. i think she may have been a little, tiny, eeny weeny, bit unhinged.

    did i see an angry bird fly by at one point? ^_^

    • Yes, and I loved the barrel down the stairs ;-)

  6. Cool vid love the Donkey Kong homage, the barrell been thrown down the stairs.

  7. Great little film, it’s all about balance I guess?

  8. I liked the way they incorporated Nintendo games in it (Zelda, DK, etc) but couldn’t figure out why the SNES controllers had no wires. An animation challenge, perhaps.

    • I’d guess they simply forgot :) it wouldn’t have been a challenge to those that made it at all.

  9. I think this was a beautiful document to how some mothers are inadequately equipped for parenthood, and how closely they tread the borderline of insanity.

    • Or how some people need to put the pad down & get the feck outside

      • That too, of course – but getting twitchy eyed and making a bonfire after a few miserable attempts of redirecting your kids’ attention is hardly a sign of sanity.

  10. Brilliant little film.
