Le vilain petit carré / The ugly square

Le vilain petit carré / The ugly square from ToutCourt on Vimeo.

Tout Court proclaim only one thing and that is that they make short films. There’s not much info about them around the traps other than that they hail from France and that the teams consists of two directors – Quentin Carnicelli and Charles Klipfel worked together on this film as part of their Masters from The University of Paris.

What ensues is a delightful little stop-motion film about a world of squares into which a circle is thrown, with the ultimate message being one of acceptance and love despite how one might look. Other equally charming videos can be found on their Vimeo page, including a great stop-motion account of a trip to Japan.
