Well, this was an interesting animation. I've seen it before but so it was not as shocking as the first time, but I jut found it intriguing and entertaining. The animation is really smooth, but not smooth enough to be lifelike, but close enough. The use of using the plasticine as more then a unchanging model worked really well, and made the whole construction a little more believable, as it was...consistent. Like a process that may actually take place.

So a message...perhaps how we see the human body as something beautiful, but when we seperate it into parts we see the ugliness and ridiculousness of it all. Perhaps it's a fear of being finished, when you can no longer improve. Or perhaps a fear of puberty, hence the cock and balls being a scary monster and and the rest of the body being scary. These little details don't matter to a child, but as yiu grow up, it becomes a much more inportant thing.
