The Last Belle is a 2011 traditionally animated short film co-written and directed by Neil Boyle.And when we say traditional, we mean traditional! As in hand-drawn animation drawn on paper, inked and painted on cels and photographed with an analog camera. Boyle, who came out of the early days of The Renaissance Age of Animation, having animated for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the last leg of The Thief and the Cobbler to be made under Richard Williams' direction, wanted to create a film that would remind younger generations of animators that the pre-digital process of hand-drawn animation was still just as relevant as CGI or even tradigital.The film tells the story of Rosie, a lonely British woman who sets herself up for a blind date with a man she's met over the internet, who describes himself as "the spitting image of Brad Pitt" but is really an overweight, boorish slob who does nothing but watch porn and guzzle beer. As Rosie waits for him at a bar downtown, he drunkenly stumbles out of his house and through The London Underground in an effort to meet her.Watch it here.

comment
Blatant Lies: Wally describes himself in his emails to Rosie as "the spitting image of Brad Pitt" when he's really an overweight, slovenly alcoholic. Rosie lists that he lives in a big house while he's living in a crummy apartment, and that his interests are "art, les cinema and literature," all of which turn out to be porn (pinups, XXX videos and erotic magazines, respectively). She also claims that one of his hobbies is working on the gym, while he's morbidly obese, and that he's into fashion...as he's putting on a horrendously tacky Hawaiian shirt with the loudest tie imaginable.

Laser-Guided Karma: Wally lies to Rosie about his appearance and hobbies on the internet and spends all the afternoon drinking alcohol, not making an effort to arrive early. As a result, he is unwittingly knocked out by her date who is pissed off with his tardiness and misses his date with her.

In the Style of: The earlier films of The Renaissance Age of Animation. The underground sequence, for example, borrows a lot from the "MC Escher" scene from The Thief and the Cobbler. Roy Naisbitt, art designer for Thief, designed the sequence.
