I am very surprised that no one has yet reviewed this film. While I was somewhat ambivalent about it, I guess I'll be the first.
Mr. Goldframe is a movie mogul who must do everything better than anyone else. In an odd little battle of one-upsmanship, he has a battle with his own shadow because he can't stand the idea of ANYONE being as good as him--even his shadow. So, in a contest, he tries to see if he can move faster than and better than the shadow.
This film is animated using black pencils, but this works out very well--with nice detail and enough to make it interesting. While the overall product is watchable, this isn't a film to get too excited about, as it's so short and the ending is only mildly satisfying.
