I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This was an interesting short: It was directed by Rebecca Sugar (Who is mostly known for her work on "Adventure Time") and I particularly see it as some sort of throwback to the surreal cartoons from the early nineties (Like for example, "The Ren & Stimpy Show" and the first "Rugrats" episodes)It is mostly an exercise of style over substance, with the visual elements being more important than the narrative, but I honestly think that the final result is good enough to be worth-watching. The design of the main character reminded me a little the works of John Kricfalusi.Even when "Singles" isn't a masterpiece, I think that anyone who enjoys surreal and strange animations will find this to be watchable, at least.
