7/10

This opens to quite a menacing score as a young child is pursued through a thick wood by a red-eyed creature that forces it to take refuge in a vast and rambling castle. Can it escape, though? This is persistent persecutor who isn't going to just give up. Essentially, this is a child cancer awareness animation that's dark simplicity quite effectively combines the menace of the cancer and death with the imagery of the child constantly trying to stay one step ahead - even when that flight costs it it's head of hair. It's dedicated to a multitude of people who have courageously and professionally dedicated themselves to this struggle, and to the animator's girlfriend whom he loves more than his Plasma TV!
