Oktapodi

2007 · 3 min · Animation, Comedy · Directed by Julien Bocabeille & the Gobelins team

A pair of octopuses are separated when one is loaded into a restaurant van, and the other launches a Greek-island car chase to get them back. Three minutes of pure kinetic joy from six Gobelins graduates — the most efficient action filmmaking on this service.
