Shorts 3 is a series of animated shorts that is not for young minds. Of the ten titles, one was sublime; “Our Wonderful Nature” – a simple tale of the mating habits of the water shrew…absolutely hilarious. The remaining were interesting, serious, ironic, weird, and touching: “Slaves’ was a heartrending conversation with 9 and 15 year olds freed from government sponsored slavery in Sudan. And one, (Chainsaw), was pornographic. Pushing the envelope is one thing. Showing porn for the sake of porn was a regrettable choice.
