Fridges

Fridges

This short film that I have viewed is entitled "Fridges". This was created by a Japanese independent animator named Fujio Tanabe. The story is about a busted up fridge who was dumped because it was of no use anymore but still wanted to be used again despite its inferiority. It tried desperately to be accepted by another but to no avail. When all seemed hopeless, a young woman carrying a lot of groceries came and stopped it from killing itself. She then brought it home with her and tried to fix it, after awhile she was able to fix the fridge. Because she had a bigger and working fridge now, she threw out her old and petite fridge. After serving its new found owner, the fridge was bothered by how she treated her old fridge. And because it felt the same feeling the fridge went after the owner's old fridge to try and persuade it to come back.

Fujio is a very good animator because he utilized 3D effects in his animation. The characters in his film were very much 3D modeled and were perfectly rendered to show no flaws. The only backdrop of his film was the fading/cutting of scenes in which he didn't get it right. Overall this animation would get 4 out of 5 stars for its good quality and storyline.
