I suppose I always had a little soft spot for these types of animations where there is no real dialogue and that the story is told through actions alone (And a few adorable grunts and squeaks). I am rather curious especially about what the mad scientist is made of (I mean, it's obvious that his clothes is made of fabric), while it is evident that his creation is made of fabric, from what I have seen of my own classmate's puppets, the mad scientist himself might have been made of silicon. I can't say for certain, seeing that I don't necessarily specialise in stop-motion (Or plan to), but, I can always appreciate how much work is put into it (Why else would I be talking about this animation, then?).
There is so much detail put into the setting and props (Are those little glass tubes really made of glass? Either that or, well done when it comes to the sound effects during those scenes). It really does feel like a real little basement laboratory, with the chalkboard and notes being plastered all over the walls.
Speaking of which, there was only one little thing that bothered me about the animation, and that is the fact that the sound design. While I did compliment it earlier, it honestly could have used a little more polished in terms of its volume as it tends to get abruptly loud at times, such as when the mad scientist suddenly starts yelling. Though, I still did enjoy the voices that were given to the scientist and of course, the creature itself (Effectively cute without being the least bit obnoxious).
Overall, it was a very endearing little story, a simple plot that can be enjoyed by all, with appealing little characters and beautifully done setting and props. Now, after all that, I think it's time that you go ahead and watch it for yourself (Yes, yes, I know how incredibly late this little write up is... stay tune for more).
