Capital P is scarily amusing depiction of a child's imagination

[tavm · 8/10 · 25 August 2006]

We see child like drawings of house, sun, hose, and bed. At bed, a child is wetting it with hose. House comes alive and says to child, "Don't wet your bed!" Child wakes up. Just a dream. He rushes through the dark hallway, scared until he turns on the light. He finds the bathroom and sits on the toilet. As he waits, it is thundering outside so the lightning frightens him! After he's done, he hurries through the darkened hallway and goes back to bed. Imaginary house reappears and asks, "Did we forget to flush?" Child wakes up astonished as he dreads going back to bathroom. The end. Amusingly scary cartoon that explores a child's active imagination from Canadian Stephen Barnes. This was a worthy entry from Volume 5 of The International Tournee of Amimation videocassette.
