Moquito....
parasito...

Very cute and some fantastic animation. Thanks for the link, madam.

Thanks, mjjj. Cute and infectious - but I gotta say, knowing how much work these things take, it seems like a lot of trouble for such a basic, well-worn idea. And how come the fat mosquito didn't splatter blood all over the TV when squished? Now that would've been more fun (and more cathartic!)

Cool animation, but MAN that song. Super annoying!

Enjoyable and stuck in my head now.

Somebody would make a ringtone out of this, surely?

some fantastic animation.

Some sub-par animation, you mean? Why do people always equate '3D' with 'fantastic'? The characters were hideous, and the animation was rigid and devoid of any real character. I don't doubt it was a lot of work, but that doesn't make it great.

perhaps fantastic in that it exists within the realm of fantasy? a funny short and a song that's now stuck in my head...but i wasn't blown away by the animation, either.
