Robot-ussin

Better Hollywood is based out of Baltimore, Maryland and creates quirky little short films like this one once every couple months. This film like all of their films are located on the Better Hollywood website. "Robot-ussin" is a prime example of the group's work. It features irreverent humor, absurd imagery, and a keen sense of quality. The film starts off with the protagonist Bryan "Grasshopper" Robinson (of Grasshopper Philms), in the studio animating a hand-drawn robot. At the time he is also swilling down a bottle marked "TUSSIN: It will hurt you." As the bottle is chugged down the robot starts to move off of the page, until finally he breaks free. Meanwhile, on the streets of Baltimore a robot has come to life. It is up to Grasshopper, in his Tussin-induced psychedelic haze, to destroy this mad chunk-ham wielding mammoth. Music by People Like Us fuels the short. It's a good time.
