Subconscious Password

2013 · 11 min · ★ 5.9 · Animation

In this short animation, Oscar®-winning director Chris Landreth uses a common social gaffe - forgetting somebody's name - as the starting point for a mind-bending romp through the unconscious. Inspired by the classic TV game show Password, the film features a wealth of animated celebrity guests who try (and try, and try) to prompt Charles to remember the name. Finally, he realizes he will simply have to surrender himself to his predicament.

Suddenly aware of time, love, power, and their own mortality, the canines struggle to navigate a world that is no longer purely instinctual, and their once-unified pack fractures into competing visions of how to live, through domination, art, faith, manipulation, and love.
