“Runaway” is an award-winning, cleverly satirical animated short film by the Canadian animator Cordell Barker. Like many acclaimed animators, new work from him is a rare and eagerly awaited occurrence. “Runaway” is just his third short film, after the Oscar-nominated “The Cat Came Back” in 1988 and the Oscar-nominated “Strange Invaders” in 2001.
The story revolves around an undefined moment in the eighteenth century, recreating the journey of a locomotive that collides with an unhurried cow as it crosses the tracks and rapidly begins to hurtle wildly out of control. As the situation becomes more dire a class-conflict breaks out, and while naturally there are victims, in the end everyone turns out to be equal.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution colorful illustrations, as well as the wildly comical, satirical animated short film.
