FACE SHOP, THE

This slightly macabre animated story works best for a teen audience. It's fanciful and creepy with a bizarre storyline that's definitely unusual. The bluesy music adds a good dimension to it, giving it a sort of zombie-ish New Orleans style. There's no great message or moral here, which there could have been, just a well executed short film.

Neil is an 11-year-old boy who lost his face. His monster friend, Manny, brings him to a face shop in order to get him a new face. Even though Neil tries a lots of strange facial attributes, nothing seems to fit him. Will Neil find his real face with the help of his monsters friends?
