The Missing Key (Preview)

Jonathan Nix is the Australian animator/artist/musician behind Hello, a 2003 animated short that featured a lovelorn boom box. His newest animated project, The Missing Key, is a prequel that is supposed to be released late this year (which is essentially now). The colors in the trailer for this thirty minute film are much more vivid than those featured in his previous work. But there continues a similar theme of creatures with musical devices as heads. Speaking of music, the soundtrack to this trailer is gorgeous. The film may be worth experiencing once with your eyes closed.
