Animaton: Death Fails

Death Fails is a wee gem of a find, a hilarious short animation by Dmitri Voloshin and the crew from the Simpals studio in Moldovia. All Death has to do is count down those last few grains in a person’s hourglass then harvest the soul at the appropriate moment. But even the Grim Reaper can have an off day… Death Fails showcases a delightfully sick sense of humour in some spots and a clear love of the classic, old school cartoons for some fine slapstick and absurdity (some great details – Death fiddling with the line on the heart monitor, a doctor using the defibrilator paddles to heat up his sarnie). I laughed throughout this, do yourselves a favour, take a few moments out of the stressful day and have a bloody good laugh at this:
