This Way Up

About This Movie

This Way Up is this quirky, offbeat animated short that really embraces its odd premise. You’ve got A.T Shank & Son, who are this hapless pair navigating a chaotic day that starts with a boulder flattening their hearse. The animation style has a whimsical quality, really complementing the dark humor and absurdity of the funeral setting. It's got a pacing that keeps you engaged, mixing moments of slapstick with surprisingly emotional themes about companionship and resilience. The visuals are simple yet effective, and you can feel the charm in the character designs. It’s not just a journey across the country; it’s a journey through life’s absurdities, all with a coffin as their peculiar travel buddy. You can’t help but chuckle at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
