Dark humor animation about class conflict | "Runaway" - by Cordell Barker

A train runs into a cow on the tracks; with the captain nowhere to be found, the fireman is forced to desperately improvise in order to keep the train going.

Cordell Barker, director of the Oscar®-nominated films The Cat Came Back and Strange Invaders, is back with Runaway. Set to the rousing music of Ben Charest (Triplets of Belleville), this animated short takes you on a journey that is both funny and disastrous.

This animated short film won the Special Jury Award at Annecy International Animated Film Festival and the Small Golden Rail at Cannes Film Festival. In addition, the film was shortlisted at the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Animated Short Film.
