Some of the animation was mildly disturbing at times, but the animation flow and style remains constant and enjoyable. An entertaining story indeed.
Reviews for "Cream"
Welcome to the human race, where everything good can and will be destroyed by some bastards who just want endless profit. This movie is very well done, made me sad.
There is just one issue with the animation. If cream rendered money useless, how did rich people pay the media or the government in the first place?
That aside, I get the message and agree with it. The eerie yet somehow fun artstyle matches the tone of the story perfectly.
Now as for the ending, it couldn't have been better. A world changing cream - a utopian future - was reduced to a mere product, to means to make the wealthy wealthier rather than improving people's lives. Not only does it reinforces the point of the story beautifully, it was also unexpected.
For all that, this gets a perfect 5/5 rating.

the tags on this are lovely
watching this flash made me realize that I liked firth cartoons in the first place probably because they seem so inspired in the same dark vein as courage the cowardly dog which is a show I loved as a child.
Obviously my first thought is to compare this "cream" to ejaculate since in real life it is actually good for your complexion. Then I began to delve into the conceptual ideas that the driving force behind life that this is represents, much like the complexion healing properties, this life driving force that could heal more to people, what if our ejaculate represented our pleasure in living and the deeper properties of life itself as it fixes everything that it comes across in a human when in its most concentrated form?
After these thoughts, I naturally begin to see how this video could thematically be a reflection showing that the goodness in life is very overbearing, creepy, and intrusive in a way, that our innate will to live is gross and goes against the natural order, which is to be broken and to die and to be different.
While after contemplating this for a moment, I wouldn't agree that it is how I completely feel, I think it would be good to harness healing properties from inside of ourselves, this cartoon obviously shows that if everyone is animated in a kind of hyper realistic disturbing way, creating this miracle cream in a strange laboratory setting in a dark world, you are going to be repulsed. even if it could actually represent the divine will of human life itself. So I find it very thought provoking, and I've watched like a minute of the cartoon.
I think that this video is fucking hilarious, equally as hilarious as it is dark, and makes me feel a contrast of emotions even possibly at one time, like an animated cartoon that can expand your consciousness, but in a way that shows you the error of "fixing" everything, and the snootiness and self-entitled atmosphere that can come with feeling like any one certain way of living is the best and most right way to live, even if it follows a very objectively positive path.
the part where a guy turns into pure light energy is extremely trippy. holy shit. this is too much man.
the concept of cream becomes sort of uplifting and then the whole plot twist happens. this shit is just too deep dude.
10/10 I would show it to my family members
