I love the yellow beak of the toucan. You probably shouldn’t draw any conclusions from that. The gentleman in this animation keeps one under his hat and is afraid of being left under the stairs after a party like an umbrella full of sick. Do you think the underside of an umbrella is sick-proof? I’m not sure.
Emily Howells has made a mad, 2d animated, poetic rant. It’s done with a mixture of breeziness and menace. The oddball paranoid versifier is voiced by Rodger McGough who speaks of fantastical, fearful and funny imagery whist a chattering toucan sits comfortably in the brain-space of the patient, smoking a pipe. Depending on wether you found a moose head on your pillow this morning, have recently receive a parcel of encyclopaedias in the mail or saw the ghost of King Edward VII fighting with a Chihuahua through your kitchen window, you might find this deeply disturbing or hilarious. I’m off to look for missing prawns.
