What would happen if the world were a driverless train thundering recklessly over bumpy tracks? With his third short film, Runaway, twice Oscar-nominated Cordell Barker provides a caustic answer to this philosophical question.
Happy passengers are having a great time on a crowded train, oblivious to the fate that awaits them around the bend. When the effects of the shortage that ensues begin to be felt, the result is a class struggle that is as amusing as it is merciless. Naturally there are victims, but in the end everyone is equal. Rarely has a disaster seemed so delightful!
Runaway- a film that is simultaneously exuberant, fastpaced, colourful, absurd and most of all a sheer joy. With an eye as sharp as his pencil, the filmmaker has succeeded in crafting yet another animation gem. Set to the music of Benoît Charest (composer of The Triplets of Belleville), Runaway takes you on a journey that is both funny and disastrous.

Through the rosy haze they wonder... Are kids really just adorable affection factories? Or is there an untold sinister side to child rearing, a dark hell-bound side street, a one-way alley that no one dared reveal when you started careening down that hormone-splattered highway toward the frontiers of exhaustion?

This wonderfully wacky animation film is a look at two simultaneous conflicts, the macrocosm of global nuclear war and the microcosm of a domestic quarrel, and how each conflict is resolved. Presented with warmth and unexpectedly off-the-wall humour, the film is open to a multitude of interpretations.
This film shows what many Earthlings have long feared (and what Martians might logically deem to be the case)--that the automobile has inherited the Earth. An animated film, it shows life on Earth as one long, unending conga-line of cars. The Martian visitors judge them to be the true inhabitants of Earth, while we seem to be parasites infesting the autos.
Everyone ponders how he or she will face the knowledge of certain and imminent death. This animated film shows the reactions of one individual whose doctor has just told him that he has only a short time to live.
