Runaway

If you are like me, you keep hold of household appliances until they are not just virtually but really falling apart.  This is the case with the young man in this animation by Ringling students Emily Buchanan, Esther Parobek and Susan Yung.

His fridge, Chillie, is more like his best friend than a common household appliance consisting of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump.  One day Chillie’s handle falls off and he jumps to some conclusions about the consequences which force him in to a heart-breaking decision.
