Idiots, idiots everywhere

Charade (1984)

Written & directed by John Minnis this animated film has all voices also done by John Minnis. A man attempts to play charades with people unable to guess what his obvious clues mean but instantly get the obtuse clues of his rival.

There is a pretty simple premise to this short animated film that works well but maybe is stretched out a little too long. Anyone who has ever played charades or a similar game can easily identify with the protagonist. Interestingly this is the only student film to date to win an Academy award.


3/5
