Joe Fly

About This Movie

Joe Fly is a curious little piece from '97, animated in stereoscopic 3D. It captures this lazy blue bottle fly drifting through a surreal world, where encounters with a nasty beetle and a giant mantis add a certain tension. The pacing feels dreamy, almost hypnotic, as it juxtaposes the fly's lethargy with the more aggressive characters around him. The practical effects have a charming hand-crafted quality that makes it stand out in the realm of short animations. And let's not forget the ghost—a whimsical touch that gives it a slightly eerie vibe. There’s a recut version, too, called Joe & Basket "Mostly Sports," which adds another layer of interest for collectors.
