Hypochondria (I Told You I Was Sick)

About This Movie

Hypochondria (I Told You I Was Sick) is this quirky animation that really captures a unique blend of comedy and horror. It’s a short piece, but it packs a punch with its offbeat humor and a somewhat dark undertone, typical of a student project from NYU. The pacing keeps you on your toes, never quite knowing where the absurdity might lead next. Visually, it leans on that hand-drawn style that gives it a raw, personal touch, which I always find adds a layer of charm. Themes of anxiety and paranoia run through it, making it resonate more than you'd expect from a cartoon. It's definitely a distinctive piece in the animation landscape of its time.
