WARNING: May not be suitable for young children.

An elephant attempts to escape his Lego captors, and while he may eventually get away, he runs into other problems.

This stop motion animation was my senior media project at film school. My goal in making this was to show conflict between different types of toys and how rushing to solve a big problem could make things worse. Check this blog for more behind the scenes: robertcarlsonseniormedia.blogspot.com/

EDIT: This project is different in tone from the usual fare on this channel and I apologize for that. I hoped to make an interesting and bizarre film but many people have been caught off guard by it or confused by it. Anyways I hope it doesn't ruin your day. I learned a lot from making this and in the future I hope to make videos that are better or at least include the audience in the loop a little more.
