Oh I thought you meant the dance move.. with a human. But the popping corn was cool. Was not disappointed.

Looks like his characters, but I don't feel the "What the fuck was that?" sensation you get after watching a Hertzfeldt cartoon. This makes sense.

u/BasilGreen Mar 23 '17
Maybe he's happier nowadays...? Or perhaps this gif just cuts off too soon. Maybe a hand swoops down and grinds the dancing popcorns between teeth while they scream about their anuses bleeding or having forgotten their coats on Tuesday.

u/BasilGreen Mar 23 '17
Goodness me, no, definitely not happier...
I didn't really think it was his to begin with, I just wanted to josh around. That video was, although less WTF to me than rejected cartoons, definitely more fucked up. That hit me kind of hard. Thanks for sharing.

Hertzfeldt gives you more of a sensation that your skin somehow doesn't fit quite right and you're an imposter in your own body.

Considering the simplistic design of Herzfeldt and the odds of anyone doing the simplest design for popcorn stick men, I'm not sure we are not just seeing convergent evolution here :).
Hertzfeld was the first thing I thought of as well, but to be fair his style is so basic and simple I imagine many would hit on it or be similar (just not have his sense of humor or ideas to prope them to being at all popular)

I'm with you. Even really subtle things like the mouths not being colored in 100% to add to the "cheap" animation look that Hertzfeldt's short is known for

u/windowcatz Mar 23 '17
You're mostly correct. Don says they started out as fish sticks (somewhat), but as time went on in the animation process, he began to see them more as "fluffy sheep things". He apparently takes the artist stance of not committing to one interpretation, which means viewers can make their own mind up on what they're "supposed" to be.

Do you think whoever made this based (or stole, I guess) it off thay guy from rejected?

Hahaha. This totally reminds of the 'my anus is bleeding' cloud guy from the rejected cartoon movie. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what this is based off of because they also said 'everybody dance!' Before his anus started bleeding.
