Dumbland - The Neighbor (2002)
*** (out of 4)
If you go through David Lynch's filmography you'll notice weird features and weird shorts. This Dumbland series is weird animation as the director takes a large, deformed man and puts him into various situations.
This first episode has the large man confronting his neighbor over a fence. It's clear from the start that this isn't a friendly little chat, which leads to discussion of a rumor. I won't spoil what rumor happens since it's the ending to the picture but for the most part I thought this was a good or at least entertaining short. The animation itself is quite crude but in a good way. There's certainly some salty dialogue and it's quite funny at times but the highlight is just the weird atmosphere that Lynch brings.
