Clip description
Little Kevin (voiced by Philip Joseph) is busy licking his snotty face at the supermarket. He hides from his mother, opens a packet of lollies off the shelf and gobbles them greedily. An old lady trips over the lollies he’s spilled and falls. Kevin laughs at her helplessness and jumps over her to get to his next treat: a box of ‘Chocky Pops’ cereal with a grinning monkey on the box. Stuffing his face, Kevin notices too late that the monkey has come to life. The monkey stuffs Kevin into the cereal packet and a punch-up ensues. The monkey emerges from the box victorious.
Curator’s notes
This is evocative 3D character animation: we know from Kevin’s snotty tongue and malicious grin that this boy is up to no good. As the sequence evolves, we see that Kevin is greedy, selfish and ultimately, a loser. It’s hard not to feel pleasure at seeing him get his comeuppance.
Unusually, this short film has credits for 'Muzak’ (Stuart Thorne) and 'Vomit’ (Adrian King).
