Craig...You are less than intelligent.
How about BOB was about a simple case of mistaken identity? It didn't have anything to do with your mistaken topic. Reeeeaaallllly?
Get a clue!
If you would like to grow up, learn how to talk or become the next suicide...please feel free.
Either way maybe the viewers won't have to read stupid comments from a person like you, if you grow up or prove Darwin's survival of the fittest by not surviving!

Frank, YOU are less than intelligent if you honestly think that BOB wasn't about finding out the hamster he was dying to meet was another male. And you're telling Craig to grow up when you are the one suggesting he become the next suicide. Really? That's one of most immature statements a person can make. Craig was bringing up a valid point: GLBT suicide is not something to take lightly and I really wish that people would stop doing the same tired, offensive jokes.

Exactly right, Hannah. This film is about a hamster trapped in a cage with another male (Bob).
This animation is awesome, these guys are super talented. It's the "payoff" that disturbed me. It is hurtful to GLBT Americans (and others) because it implies a lot of negative stereotypes.
Here's a thought...
Imagine this, Bob introduces himself, and both hamsters smile, happy ending for both, nobody gets hurt, no implied dominate prison rape (hey, they are in cages after all) or whatever or made to feel uncomfortable.
And it's still funny but on a different level.
If that scenario is not funny for you, or you feel uncomfortable, then that is the very definition of homophobia and the implication that I am talking about.
But like ethnic humor, it's probably better to stick to what you know best and leave the gay jokes to the gays who tell it the best.
It is interesting to see that most of the positive comments come from industry people who participate in the technical aspects, not the creatives who fabricate the storyline. That is why everybody needs an editor.
Best of Success to the talented animators in future endeavors, but this short film needs a rewrite or it needs to be ash canned.

Not Necessarily Craig. If this scenario is uncomfortable to you it MAY be because you thought just like all the primitive heteros that this hamster was doing what all other species NATURALLY do and that is seeking out the female counterpart to PROCREATE. You call your reaction a reaction to something with a message that promotes a fear, phobia of your subculture, while it does not. What bothers those offended is that you want to destroy the natural assumptions that the joke is based on. Something that is not the author's responsibility. Of course you don't assign responsibility, only blame and roles. The assumed straight guys should keep to the jokes they are allowed by the PC police to make and "leave the gay jokes to the gays" who are of a protected class that can do/say as vile things as one can think of and it is revered. So much of the gay culture is deviant by design, but if you make a joke based on the obvious fact and you are responsible for some depressed kid killing himself. The fact is, everything on this planet is the product of the natural process of heterosexual sex/reproduction.....and that fact will always spotlight that gay lifestyle is a DEVIATION of this NORM. What you call a "phobia" is the built in reality of the lifestyle. It is a complete deviation of where we all come from. This is a fact, preacherman. Not hate.

Joe you nailed it...

Exactly what's wrong with the world of gays. Hyper-sensitive and just EVERYthing is all about them, EVERY time. Lighten up, you idiot. The ending is exactly what was said above--a case of mistaken identity and not another reason for you to jump on your GD soap box.
