Video Review – Distraxion (2008) – 3.5 Stars

Over the space of two years (part of which was during his time at an animation school), Mike Stern put together a great animation called ‘Distraxion’. It’s great because the message is simply, it’s delivered in a charming way, the characters are relatable, and the animation is perfectly clean without being overly realistic. And I mustn’t be the only one who thinks it’s great; it’s picked up three awards for best animation at a variety of film festivals, and it’s been part of the official selection at seventeen others. It’s a great way to spend two minutes of your life
