    "Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions" is an American 5.5-minute animated short film from 1991 written, directed and produced by Henry Selick, who was in his late 30s at that point and still a pretty long time away from his Oscar nomination for Coraline. But in terms of darkness, absurdity and bizarreness, you can easily see his cinematic handwriting in this pretty awkward and creepy little short film. sadly I must say the film never lived up to my expectations beyond the solid approach in style. Voice acting, even if there aren't too many voices, is solid too. The characters feel too forgettable though in my opinion. I don't know if they intended to follow up on this one with a sequel, series or even full feature film, but maybe it was okay they did not because I think i would not have had too much interest to check it out. This one here is not a failure, but also not really on a level where I would recommend it, not even to Coraline lovers as I am kind of one myself and thiese 5 minutes did extremely little for me. Sure you cannot do too much wrong at this running time, but still the best decision here is to skip it perhaps.
