Execution
Throughout this film we follow a character who announces himself to the financial fat cats of a 1930s style, black and white animated world.
Although drawn in a similar style to the other characters we see, our ‘new money’ hero is deliberately more modern in both wardrobe and how he speaks.
Delivering a ‘call to arms’ monologue to camera, he takes us on a journey through the subways and streets of a typical financial city, interacting with characters who represent this era of excess, such as a diamond encrusted toilet, a walking Faberge egg and a man with a gold bar for a head.
Eventually he breaks through the more traditional fabric of this financial world, ultimately taking his seat at the boardroom table.
