The Terrible Thing of Alpha-9! (6:00)
Cartoon Brew; Dust.com; Dust.tv; IMDb; Jake Armstrong; Short of the Week; Vimeo; YouTube

This 2009 short film was presented by Dust in 2019.

This is a Flash-animated film that I first saw on Short of the Week, I don't remember when. But at the time, I didn't bother with a review. After watching it again on Dust, I deliberated for some time about whether or not I liked it well enough to write a review, and obviously I chose to do so. But I'm not sure how much I can say about it, because I don't want to spoil it. So all I'll say is that a bounty hunter goes to planet Alpha-9 to kill a monster, and things don't go as planned. It's a reasonably amusing and perhaps somewhat poignant film, so I'm sorry I don't like it more than I do. It's definitely worth watching at least once, especially given its short run time.
