a playful catastrophe

This playful bit of stop motion from Portland's Shaky Hands brings with it a certain case for the mopes. Here, cardboard loggers have their way on happy plastic trees, floating these green little wonders down a twiney river to be processed as perfect Lincoln Logs. Eventually reborn as a mighty fishing vessel, the ship suffers a cataclysmic demise, courtesy of a ferocious, arts and crafts kind of creature. - David Pitz
