Marcel, King of Tervuren is the best animation short of 2013. Fact.
Remember this brilliant little film from a few years back about a guy who bikes for hours to see his love, only to get dumped:
The creator, Tom Schroeder has done some fine work since Bike Ride, but perhaps none better than his latest, Marcel King of Tervuren. It's kind of a beautiful Bukowski/Sophocles tale with roosters. Best short animation of 2013 thus far. You should see it at many festivals. If not, those festivals should have their eyes shot out.
A well-known figure in the world of independent animation, writer, author & curator Chris Robinson is the Artistic Director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
