Talk about Willy Wonka 2.0 gone awry…! Congrats to this week’s winner teamGoobees for their 3D animation Goobees, where a Candyland-style war of the worlds turns sugary death into your afternoon sweet treat.

Candy canes glisten, green frosted hills sparkle, and battered steel weapons glint in the setting sun. Tensions flare on both sides of the battlefield. Gumdrops glare with hatred at the Chocolates. Chocolates wait with confidence, eager to slaughter their opponent. High above in the crimson sky candy corn vultures circle in anticipation of the devastation to come. On a far away hill bright white eyes wait. They wait…
Goobees is a film that explores how a candy named Goobees is made. It juxtaposes colorful candy imagery against a dark macabre story. The candy imagery provokes happiness and fun, but the death-stricken land contradicts the playful imagery.
