i happened across "the lump" accidentally. i found it thoroughly engaging. actually i think it was more intriguing. i loved the music, the lead character and the script. the total concept of the story was unique. it was and wasn't a learning type story. by that i mean like a bible story where one is supposed to learn something from it. you do, but then again, you don't. all and all it's just a wonderful little short story that came from a free thinking mind. i recommend it for anyone. i don't know what else to say without ruining it for others. guess i'll just repeat myself and say watch it if you get the chance. still short one line...loved the flick!

This short, produced by the NFBC, uses a style of stop-motion that, at least to my eye, is distracting and not entirely effective. But the music is spendid and the basic concept and script are engaging enough to overcome some very definite visual drawbacks. Makes some pithy and cogent remarks on humanity's character and values (or lack thereof), but could have been better, for me at least, had the animation been less irksome. Well worth seeing.

I'm all for projects in arts by all people, but this defies all natural ability and reason to even do something. I think 2nd graders could make a better short film involving their Elmers glue and sparkles then what this was. And to think more then 1 person actually worked on this, guess it was a group effort to make it bad.

I'm probably the only one who cares to watch O Canada on Cartoon Network. This is one of the first cartoons I saw on the show, and the song from this toon has been stuck in my head ever since. It's quite a creative animated musical in which an unpopular man grows a lump on his head that looks like a Greek figure. He pretends this is his head, and he becomes much more popular. However, later the lump ends up getting him into trouble. I'll never forget the one part at the beginning that went like "If he ever asked out a woman, she would nearly call a cop!" Worth watching.
