Lamput
What's the Story?
Lamput is a series of very brief animated shorts about an orange blob. Lamput is always on the run from two gray creatures, and he outsmarts them every time. The "episodes" are under 30 seconds long, so there's not much time for plot, just enough time for Lamput to make his crafty getaway.
Is It Any Good?
These shorts are funny enough, but seem to always end in violence. Lamput is silly and in a Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry way, abides by the classic rules of slapstick. They're also used as interstitials between shows, so their brief running time hardly leaves time to process each one. Lamput himself is pretty cute, and fans of Spongebob and other goofy comedies will enjoy these moments watching him escape.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about why there's no dialogue in Lamput. What other shows are similar? How do they communicate?
Do you think Lamput would be as funny if it were less violent? What is "slapstick comedy?" Do you find it funny? Why or why not?
