Helga


You really do have to be careful what you say – or in some cases what you don’t say, especially if you are on a blind date. Here Ernie, in the pursuit of love and romance, ends up on a blind date.

Yet his date, Helga, is not quite what he expected either (perhaps not quite as advertised you might say – and she can get the wrong end of the stick.

This amusing animated short was created by Justin Sklar for his degree thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design. I am not sure it necessarily has a moral as such, but if there is one it is that opposites can often attract (wait, that’s not a moral!).
