5/5

Review

Chelsea Schrett’s 3-minute animation is a delightful romp into an undersea schoolhouse filled with charming characters and witty comedy. The film, produced by Ringling College of Art and Design, playfully parodies the iconic 2-note ostinato of John Williams’ theme from the thriller classic ‘Jaws’. While referencing the famous film, the story itself is innocent and fun – making it accessible to audiences of all ages.

What makes the film stand out is its clever use of music and animation to bring the underwater world alive. The music plays a pivotal role in the story’s narrative, expertly crafted to create a sense of humor and tension that is both endearing and entertaining. The animation is also a triumph – using vibrant colors and playful character design to create a world that echoes human societies.

Despite the lack of dialogue throughout the film, the viewer is drawn in by the lovable characters and their quirky personalities. The story moves at a steady pace, capturing the attention and imagination of the audience. The film’s ending is both satisfying and sweet, capping off a truly entertaining viewing experience.

In short, Chelsea Schrett’s 3-minute animation is a real treat for the eyes and a must-see for anyone who enjoys clever storytelling, witty humor, and delightful animation. A delightful comedy that will leave you smiling from ear to ear.
