A fairy tale, a bug life, and a Water World prequel. Right up my Alley.

My list: WINE AND 

Second movie in and this one was a banger. The animation being the star of this three story movie. Love the texture of the characters and places. Gave it a creepy feel that I don’t think would have been achieved in a CGI animation. All of them had some warning about houses. A lot todo with moving to a new home and leaving the old. 

The first was a decent fairy tale like story. Creepy shots of carpenters and laughing old people. Love the feel and build up. The ending felt a little abrupt and without any real payoff. Much is left in the wind. Which is fine for a short story, but didn’t leave me with the right questions unanswered.

The second was a simple story about a house flipper who has a pest problem in more ways then one. A comedy that leads to a unnerving but inevitable ending. When you do a job you do it right.

The third has my favorite setting but is the least horror out of the bunch. More of a survival story that criticizes land lords. Cool idea just doesn’t have that horror hook.

Definitely worth while checking this movie out.
