    How did it miss?
    While I will admit that this is the best short film about 17th century French midgets ever made, I don't think that would be true if you removed any of those adjectives. It sounds like it would be a hilarious show, but instead it just lies there. It seems like whoever wrote it was either trying to make a serious philosophical statement, or thought the concept alone was funny enough, because watching a 17th century midget sit down for a minute, and then be forced to stand up because of some minor annoyance over and over again just doesn't pass as entertainment. I won't spoil the surprise ending.
