Tanked: The Award-Winning Animated Short About Two Lobsters, Love and Karma

Have you ever had a romantic moment interrupted? It can be annoying – and it is certainly the case for the two lobsters in Tanked an award winning animated short by Duncan Rudd. Their tango in a tank is interrupted by the chef, who has a dinner order to fulfil and a sadistic gleam in his eye. Well, you know what karma is… Tanked was something of a passion project for Rudd, who fitted it in around family and work commitments over a period of nine months. Although this animation is short and sweet, the production values are very high – you feel that you know the lobsters well from almost the outset – and the chef is a great villain. If you enjoy this, then perhaps try Paul Rudd’s The Ballad of the Pale Blue Dot which we featured on Kuriositas last year.
