Urchin

Marc Chevry's animated short "Urchin" (or "L'oursin") is the fun, bright story of a lone sea urchin, stuck on a rock doing, uh, urchin stuff. His miserable, gray existence is interrupted by the dream of having some new legs. With his newfound freedom, he finds himself galloping away into a new, beautiful life. That even includes meeting some new friends. But alas, when you're a prickly, spiny creature that can cause harm by your very touch, your relationships are bound to suffer. This was the perfectly simple and lighthearted video to perk us up on a Friday afternoon.
