A boy warns his younger brother of dangers lurking in their home in this  wonderful stop motion short by animator Pete Levins, inspired by the art of Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins. To wit:

An experimental short where each frame of a simple scene is rendered in a different art style, from ancient Egyptian tomb murals and Chinese Ink painting to expressionism, primitivism and contemporary.

Created, with much skill and understanding of the subject, by filmmaker and educator Cao Shu of  the China Academy Of Art in Hangzhou.
