Stopover: Animation by Neil Stubbings

I like this fast-paced and funny little cartoon about a driving emergency in outer space. The characters are expressive and silly. The ‘I have to pee urgently’ walk is hysterical.

He gets a lot a character out of his clay and the film has a wonderful gentle humor that is very European in its flavor.  [...]
