The Reward

This student project from the Animation Workshop in Denmark is one of the more awesomely original animated shorts I've seen in a while.  The dialogue-less story is told through emotion and the interesting art style.  In short, it's about two men on a quest for some sort of treasure.  The payoff is played out well, if a bit cliche.  But I think there's some truth in the story as a whole: Everyone wants to be a badass sometimes all the time.  In roughly 9 minutes we're given a pretty damn cool story, one that I'd personally like to see made into a mini series or full length film.
