Kids Flix Mix 2 is a collection of shorts, of which Christopher has reviewed several:

Snack Attack
This short film was my favorite. It made me nervous because I felt for an old grandma who got scared. The story also had prominent animation that made you feel like you were in the movie. It also had a surprising end. It is a whirlwind of nervousness for the character and not knowing what will happen next.

The Extinction of the Sabre-toothed Housecat
This is a very fun film. They used the music well. Then, basing the story on a clever idea that connected two seemingly different events made it hilarious. It had great cartoon-like animation. The ending had a great twist. This is good because it amazes the watcher.

Subway Train
Turn up the music add some awesome pictures and voilà! Subway Train!
This short has the best animation of all! This is because everything was hand drawn. NO CAMERA !!!
Let’s be honest, no one uses hand drawn pictures anymore. That is what makes it special.

The Painting
This is a great, colorful film, and I for one have never seen anything like it. The idea of having "all-dones," "halvies," and sketches represent artwork at different stages of completion is just outstanding.
