Identifying Animations 10: Everything That Will Kill You... From A to Z

"Everything That Will Kill You... From A to Z" is one of the many animated shorts supplied by College Humor. The animation introduces Death as a character who narrates all the things that are detrimental to the life of humans in a whimsically-grotesque version of an alphabetical song. Furthermore, the deep baritone voice of Death adds to the cynical yet playful atmosphere of the animation, making him an appealing yet frightening character. The short is created with computer animation, although all elements are drawn with a thin pencil tool and then manipulated as puppet-symbols. In other words, the characters are not redrawn every frame individually, as is the case with traditional animation (for example, Loony Tunes). The purpose of the animation is to portray and belabor the harmful elements of the 21st century society in which consumerist products are filled with chemical compounds for productive services. And all of this is done with a smile on Death's face.
