Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This short predates the full Rex the Runt series by seven years, serving as Starzak's proof-of-concept for Aardman's weirdest creation.
Part of a 1990s British tradition of children's animators making genuinely horrifying shorts—see also The Sandman and The Wrong Trousers.
