Trailer

Appropriated from the classic Terry Toon animation, we watch events unfold of a lethargic hunter under a tree, beaten with a rolling pin multiple times by his wife for his laziness. Is this character invincible? Are they subject only to the idea of pain but not actually experiencing it? What is pain in the world of animation? Witness the breakdown of both the image and pain vs the suspension of disbelief in this tongue-in-cheek portrayal of violence in classic cartoons.
