Watch: Adorable Animated Short 'Crush' About Cable Cars in Love | FirstShowing.net

by Alex Billington February 18, 2022Source: Vimeo This might just be the sweetest short film you’ll see all year. Crush is an adorable 3-minute animated short made by a French animation collective called MegaComputeur (from their site: “We love telling stories and bringing characters to life… Especially dumb characters.”) and it’s a must watch. It was commissioned by the French Alps ski resort Val Thorens and it’s a delightful short about two cable cars in love. A scrap dealer about to crush an old 80s cable car imagines what life was like for two mountain lovers on cables. The character designs are so cute and I love how pure their love is – sharing fondue and snacks together, relaxing in a hot tub, making snowmen. Yes, I can confirm that this definitely makes me want to visit the mountains. I always adore these kind of warm, charming animated shorts that are meant to make you smile and laugh. Thanks to Stash for the tip on this short.
