Christopher Rutledge

First flight. No parents. Total panic. A terrified boy just wants to survive takeoff, but the plane—and its deranged passengers—have other plans. One guy treats turbulence like a free massage, another is way too at peace with crashing, and sanity is nowhere to be found. As the plane bucks and twists, so does reality—faces stretch, limbs flail, and gravity calls it quits. Trapped at 30,000 feet in an airborne freak show, the boy must hold on for dear life… or completely lose!

Takeshi Murata and Christopher Rutledge continue their playful investigation of both the sharp-edged hyperrealism of commercial CGI and its oozing, anarchic breakdown in Larry, which propels its titular character—a droopy-eyed canine baller—through a series of increasingly bizarre and messy loops. Set to a soundtrack of maxed-out electronic rhythms, these vignettes form a ludic study in morphology and motion, as its pooch protagonist continually vaults, multiplies, gets buckets, and dissolves into digital goo.

A 3D animated comedy that follows senior citizens, Robert and Elizabeth Anderson through their slow-paced days in a planned, age-restricted retirement community called Eggland.
