Sucker Punch - Animated Short 'Distant Planet'

Presenting animated shorts inspired by Zack Snyder's new film, Sucker Punch. Director Zack Snyder and animator Ben Hibon collaborated with Comflix Studios to further explore the fantasy worlds in the film. The animated shorts provide a distinct glimpse into those surreal places, allowing people to experience the worlds in a very unique way. "It made sense to me to not only approach the worlds from an original direction in terms of story and focus," says Snyder, "but also to really push the visual style in a different direction as well. Having seen his contribution to the latest Harry Potter film and looking at some of his other recent work, Ben's talent was obvious and his aesthetic felt like a perfect fit. His work is graphic and visually arresting." Hibon relished an opportunity to expand upon Snyder's unique vision. "Zack is one of the most exciting and original directors working in Hollywood today. Sucker Punch is nothing short of pure visual madness."

DISTANT PLANET: In Sucker Punch, the girls find themselves on another planet battling a robot militia on a hijacked train. In "Distant Planet" events unfold from the perspective of the robot hijackers leading up to the girls' arrival. Sometimes those with less have more to fight for...

These shorts are so damn good. I will be honest, I was crying internally for how it played out. It was something that I would love developed as it's own film

[belgenvlaming]

this gives a whole different dimension to the train part. Now i fully understand the whole 'dream'.

[SocietyInterpreted]

all of these shorts should have been their own movie!

[ElementroidsXLR]

So in the end, all of the different worlds are just as tragic as the girls themselves - somehow, someway, all of them are lost to violence, hate, and dammit, I thought it was bad enough seeing the rest of the girls killed off!

That's why in the movie the robot fought ferociously.
And both side sacrifices to complete their mission.

I Robot and Animatrix:The Second Renaissance homage so the robots were good guys after all damn!

[publixmn]

They knew they were going to suicide mission, And it was honorable death to them.

[kanamihotomi]

Wow, this really made me see the robots differently. o.o

[Tekkenman]

@belgenvlaming I don't see how this helps make the girls look better. The robots were rebelling against the oppressors.

[tjkilgore]

GOD... i love this short so much! its so GOOD!

[infinitiesofreflection]

Apply this to the real world today during these covid times. Incredibly relevant. 🙌🏻

[FromRussiaWithLuv]

gives deeper meaning to the film scene.

Just because a party is opressed does not give them the right to do anything that they wanted.

[TheVarsh]

Superb storytelling and a fact of life

[фвы-кэ]

Well I hate to say it like this but Rocket's death was a success, not for the girls of course but for the robot citizens of this planet, it definitely was.

[TazGuevara]

That is another good candidate for the narrator of the shorts -
So far my choices are as follows:
1. Keith David, 2. Trace Atkins and 3. Morgan Freeman.
These shorts are excellent - I am getting the Blu-ray on 28th!

[straightarrowshot]

wow even the cannon fodder robots get a back story, don't see that in every movie

[belgenvlaming]

@Tekkenman101 It clears out some things. The movie isn't always obvious. Mainly because of scenes that were cut out of the movie

[bmbtdk]

im with the poor robot dude.. poor guy

[gabrielgabrielgarble]

In so many ways, this reminds me of Hunger Games.

You know a movie's bad when its promotional shorts are more interesting.
