Synopsis

The Forbidden Zone is a stop-motion short film about Dumont, a botanist, who has quarantined in an abandoned train station. The world has become saturated by a toxic fog that destroys all life forms and replaces oxygen with poison. He spends his days fighting to survive, as his resources quickly dwindle. On a night when all seems lost, a nymph crashes outside Dumont’s bunker. In a sudden act of bravery, he dons his final tank of oxygen and leaves the safety of the station. Gathering the wounded Nymph in his arms, Dumont risks his life to return the glowing creature to the peak of the red mountain. In his quest to save his new charge, Dumont risks his life and, in doing so, discovers hope beyond the fog.

  • Review by One Godfella 侍 ★★½

    In the forbidden zone of interpretation, the tyranny of language becomes the poisoned-tip of the bureaucratic spear.

    He found the spark in his life.

  • Review by Brams ★★★

    While I do love the animation and the concept, the story feels a little unnecessary. Still very enjoyable and left me wanting more stop-motion films and short films.

  • Review by SunnySue ★★★½

    It took a while for me to understand what was going on, tbh I'm not sure I really did 🤷‍♀️
    But the ending was beautiful, and it just goes to show...where there's Light, there's Hope 💖

  • Review by Johannes 9

    The Forbidden Zone ist ein wirklich toll ausgestatteter und animierter Kurzfilm, der über seine kurze Laufzeit eine kleine hoffnungsvolle Geschichte erzählt. Visuell erinnert der Film mit seinen Verweisen auf klassische Horror- und Science-Fiction-Filme am ehesten an die Stop Motion Filme von Tim Burton oder Henry Selick. Ein schöner, kleiner Film.

    Solid

  • Review by aubinspitzer ★★★★ 1

    I like calling them space dust orbs more than "nymphs". Also holy hell I got my 91 sound entries logged by 4:13. What do you mean I have to do 7 more minutes??

  • Review by Pan ★★

    Meh

  • Review by McKee ★★

    Okay animation.
    Okay story.
    Okay soundtrack.
    Okay execution.
    Just okay.

  • Review by Will Schlitsey ★★★★

    Where’s Herve? Where’s Oingo Boingo? Where’s Susan?!
    I’m a sucker for a good stop motion short. Even when it does steal its title from one of my favorite movies.

  • Review by CharlySafe

    Estoy adentro en todo. En la pequeña historia del pequeño fin del mundo, en la caracterización del personaje como el que mantiene la llama de la vida cualquier costo y en qué estaría buenísimo que esto se convierta en un largometraje.
