Marrying a crocodile, could it ever work?

I think we all know that the answer is a firm no.

This short animation used by The Annuals, for their song Dry Clothes, won an award for best animated music video at the International Animation Film Festival.

The actual type of animation is interesting and reminds me of the Angela Anaconda animated series. (Below) The actual animation is about a crocodile and a man falling in love and getting married but the crocodile struggles to keep up with compromises she has made and eventually eats her husband.







The colours in the video are dark although certain spots are quite bright, the videos colours remind me of a happy exterior with a dark hidden centre quite like the crocodile has.

The storyline behind the animation is quite witty and obviously very unrealistic, I think this gives the animation a humorous side. At the end of the day its fairly easy to watch and has been credited by the International Animation Film Festival in Annecy so is worth a watch.

If this is of interest heres another interesting animation to watch:
