850 Meters

The quest of a fame-and-fortune-hungry, wannabe hero, in a not-so-fairy-tale.

2013 · 15 min · ★ 6.0 · Animation

A not too brave knight is looking for eternal fame and fortune. According to legend, however, he must first save a princess from the clutches of a dragon. As it is in the ancient fairy tales, there is only one way to defeat this dragon: the knight must find a sword that makes him invincible. To achieve his goal, he is prepared to go far, perhaps 850 meters.

In this clever and over-the-top satire of romantic rituals, a cartoon pickup artist is violently torn apart by the women he courts. Don Hertzfeldt's first student film, he plays the part of a mentally unwell animator who's losing his grip within his own movie; an idea he'd later revisit in other early "meta" shorts "Genre" and "Rejected". Despite being produced at the age of 18 and not intended for exhibition, HBO named it "The World's Funniest Cartoon" in 1998.
