Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Quest is a 1996 animated short film directed by Tyron Montgomery.It opens with a shot of a desert, with some brown clumps of sand visible next to an empty bottle. The clumps of sand move and reveal themselves to be a sandman, lying face down in the desert. The sandman starts scrabbling at the sand, and suddenly he falls through the sand, only to find himself in a different world, this one made of paper. It becomes apparent that the sandman is looking for water, as he goes after a puddle of water he finds in this paper world, only to fall through the paper and find himself in a world of stone. The sandman finds himself falling into world after world, as he continues on a desperate quest for the water he needs to maintain cohesion as a sandman.Compare The Sand Castle, another award-winning animated short about an odd sandman creature.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Book-Ends: The film starts with the sandman rising up out of the desert. It ends with him right back where he started. | |

Fight to Survive | |
| Quest / int_6c3252ec | comment |
Fight to Survive: It isn't spelled out, but it seems like the sandman is looking for water because he needs it to retain his form as a sandman. | |

Medium Blending: Although most of the film is stop motion, the shots of liquid water that the sandman finds towards the end appear to be live-action. | |

Foreshadowing: Sand needs to be wet to clump up, right? There's an empty bottle right next to the sandman when he arises from the sand. Hm. | |

Nightmarish Factory: The last place the sandman finds himself is a rather vague but ominous factory with lots of drills and grinding gears and the like. | |
