Taking a cruise aboard a massive ship full of people ready to unwind and have a good time on the high seas can be fun, or a total nightmare.
In the case of “Cruising” by Zachary Zezima the cruise becomes a disturbing and disorienting swirl of color, with fragments of reality attacking a poor boy who can’t seem to handle this surreal sea voyage.
The hand drawn, and often painterly, style of animation is reminiscent of old school shorts by Priit Parn, or one of those delightfully offbeat shorts you'd see on Sesame Street during the 70s and 80s, and the psychedelic style of the short enhances the overall feel of the kid freaking out.
