This is something quite new, for me anyway. Ice Cream Man is
effectively a music video with almost every scene going in time
with the song, "Ice Cream Man". And no, I am not kidding, the
song really is called "Ice Cream Man". I haven't heard much of
this 3DMM director before, so I didn't have a clue what to
expect, but at the end of the three minute movie, I wanted more.
I just don't know why. All I was watching was some random boy
trying to get an ice-cream because some annoying ice-cream man
thought it would be fun to ignore him. And yet I was staring at
my screen with plenty of eagerness. OK, maybe the graphics
aren't that great with a couple of rather untidy backgrounds,
but I still enjoyed watching the movie. Of course, Ice Cream Man
wouldn't be nowhere as fun to watch if the backing song was
completely crap. And fortunately, the rather unknown tune was
catchy, and it was something which you could nod to.
If you have a spare five minutes, use the time to download Ice
Cream Man, load it up on 3DMM and watch it. And if you want, you
can spend another seven or eight minutes enjoying this short
music video another couple of times. It's a bit on the short
side, and the technical stuff may not look half as good as some
of the better movies this year, but I am still happily smiling
away, enjoying Ice Cream Man.
Score: 78/100
