Velodrool is a highly surreal
animated short film.
For example,
in six minutes
you get to see:
magic rabbits being licked,
bikes growing legs,
fish jumping out of a race track,
racers being shot dead,
and plenty of craves
for some cigarette smoke.
The hand-drawn animation
is incredible, reminding me
of a mix between
The Triplets of Belleville
and Mood Indigo.

this animated short film,
