A fantastic stop-motion short story that excellently shows our MC, Mr. Trashbag, growing beyond himself. It has really amazing imagery capable of telling a great story without a single spoken word. It is definitely worth the 8 minute run time. The stop motion is done magnificently and I loved how much emotion this style of animation was able to capture out of a faceless and seemingly emotionless trash bag. The sound design is also equally praise-worthy for being able to instill uplifting and downtrodden moments within the story. The character arc we see the main character go through is also quite relatable, while that mightbe more subjective than objective in some eyes I feel there is no one who hasn't been within a slump that felt inescapable. This story perfectly illustrates how one might grow past synch hardships and bloom into more of their “ideal” rather than stay as “trash”. However while mostly positively there was a section within the middle that left me mostly confused. I tried to think of what the director was attempting to convey within the context of the metaphors being used but I was left in the dark a bit. Maybe i simply misunderstood but I felt that with a little more clarity this easily could have been an even greater story. Amazing story, quality animation, and I wholeheartedly recommend the 8 minutes of view time to appreciate this hidden gem.
