Shop Class

In this animated short, viewers are transported to junior high school life in the 1980s. Hart Snider's story captures the struggles of a young boy navigating the challenges of shop class, where he feels out of place compared to his peers. With a terrifying teacher and a school bully to contend with, Hart's journey is both darkly funny and reflective.

As he grapples with his lack of confidence and the fear of using industrial tools, Hart's comedic misadventures lead him to unexpected self-discovery. The nostalgic backdrop of the late '80s, filled with references to Walkmans and Pac-Man, adds to the charm of this coming-of-age tale. Shop Class is available on DVD, making it accessible for collectors who appreciate animated shorts with a unique perspective on youth and resilience.
