Who I Am and What I Want

About This Movie

So, here we have 'Who I Am and What I Want,' a 2005 animated short by Chris Shepherd and David Shrigley. It’s only about 7 minutes long but packs a punch. The animation style is pretty raw, almost sketch-like, which adds to its charm. Kevin Eldon voices the main character, Pete, whose journey feels oddly relatable in its absurdity and existential musings. The pacing is brisk, yet it allows you to sink into the quirky atmosphere filled with Shrigley's signature dark humor. It’s a nice example of how animation can convey deeper themes of identity and desire in such a brief runtime. Not your typical animated fare, for sure.

7 minute duration makes it easy to fit in during a collection session. · Interesting blend of humor and philosophy. · Good representation of Shrigley's distinct artistic style.
