Animated Shorts 2

The uncanny meets the hilarious, with a touch a drama for good measure: A young girl is followed by her shadow and an old man is followed by an orchestra. A chain-smoking astronaut finds God and a tribe of insects finds a cigarette. Meanwhile, cute toys are murdered and a dead Dutch family roams the streets.
