Dinner (2025), 50 seconds.

Birthed from splattering love. Vampire bats are so cute and very friendly actually, sharing food with their peers, but first they have to feed. The film pays tribute to Walt Disney’s Skeleton Dance (1929), animated by Ub Irweks. While I have a complicated relationship with the Disney empire, when this work came into public domain, I couldn't resist the urge to gush all over it.
