My reaction
Synopsis: a crappy magician lives with his parents
How I saw it: in the theater, a few days ago
Concept: Indifferent.

Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). I didn't think much of it at the time, although it did make me laugh. It's more like a pilot for a sitcom than a short film. But it's actually stuck with me and my wife since watching it ("Chimay" has now become part of our vocabulary), while the other four live action nominees, even the really good ones, are well on their way to being forgotten.
Objective Rating: 2.9/4 (Good).
