Video Overview & Insights

After discovering a baby kraken aboard their ship, two bumbling pirates try to kill it. But as their incompetent attempts escalate, they only throw themselves further into disaster.

Got a real BIG kick out of this animation. All this for a baby Kraken? 🤣🤣Watching in metro Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

The timing of the gags and co-ordination with the soundtrack is impeccable. Rewatch it a few times in a row and you'll realize all the little subtleties that make this a gem.

Superb! I love this one - can’t wait to show the kids! The comedy timing and sense of humor is very similar to Pixar’s short film ‘presto’

Will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of this 👍👍❤️
