Animation studio Simpals produced its fourth short animated film Dji: Death fails.
Dji is an unusual death. The Dark Knight has appeared in a different form. No, he is not white and fluffy. Dji is just terribly unlucky. All he has to do is to take the soul of a dying man. But the screenwriters prepared some obstacles for Dji. Will he manage to overcome them? You’ll see.
CONTENT WARNING: Contains flashing imagery, cartoon violence, and sexuality.
The Clockwork Elves could be a pyschotropic exploration of spirituality and death, or it could be a tale of a little goofball hopped up on goofballs. Either way, it’s a cartoon.
Directed and animated by Nick Cross
Music composed by Mike Fraumeni [ASCAP] and Sarah Whittaker-Gilbert [ASCAP]
