I just love it! What can I say? I laughed my ass off at the irony and fear of the short. The critique is well done and the metalanguage works. The only defect I can see is the effect of the arm and hand in the short that looks a little out of focus.

I loved it right from the toaster pitch! The stop-action is masterful and the storyline is perfect whimsy for a 12 minute short. Recommended.

Enjoyed it for what it was, but I was expecting a bit more "out there"

The funniest thing about "An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It" is the title. The stop-motion animation is also well done. The rest, however, left me indifferent. The meta-humor didn't make me chuckle once. For a runtime of eleven minutes, it's all decent enough but not exactly award-worthy.
