Ride The Slide

Ultra colourful fun animation here as a youngster is desperate to go down a twisting, turning water slide of unimaginable fun, but isn't quite tall enough..

This moved like a rocket, and the colour palette running the gamut of orange, purple, pink and green with strong yellows really gave the whole event a tropical warm flavour to proceedings. Animation itself was charming as characters moved with energy whilst the slide itself was a highlight, taking the viewers and slidegoers alike on a thrilling ride.

I also particularly liked the shot of the person laying in the water at the end of the slide, was this an open-ended suggestion that the slide was a 'knockout' persay?

For mine I'm a stickler for genre in this comp, it's really huge and in my honest opinion there could have been a little bit more meat to the bones of overcoming the odds of the 1.2 metre height requirement, because it almost felt like defeating the gatekeeping was essentially the payoff rather than 'coming of age'? Fun film though.

Story: 2.5/5

Brilliant animation, I don't know how you guys pulled it off in 48 hours. I loved the cheeky main character and the reminder of the sneaky rule breaking of our youth
