Check out what four students at the Utrecht School of the Arts can do in five months fueled by a limitless supply of peanut butter sandwiches and a talented support staff.

I really love this animation. Its totally warped especially the POV shot with the characters legs flopping about at the bottom. Nice work you talented .... People!

Yes indeed, I agree. A remarkable film in its own right, considering it was created and produced at a school makes it all the more extraordinary. Within the past month its received almost a million Vimeo views.

Heard from the Mac 'n' Cheese folks today with additional info...

Mac 'n' Cheese is an animated short directed and created by four students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. This roughly two minute animation took about five months to make, and about a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches.

Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there's only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken. Enjoy the ride!
