Short Film: Office Kingdom



"Office Kingdom" is an animated short film that paints a metaphorical portrait of modern bureaucracy run amok.

If you've ever found yourself mired in a mindless, interminable bureaucracy wishing that you find a straightforward way out of some paperwork obstacle course, consider this story.  Those paper pushers who seem so intent on denying you at every turn may not do so not out of laziness or malice but rather the dread of having to enter the Office Kingdom.


You might think that a short film about bureaucracy would fall flat, but the creators of "Office Kingdom" do an admirable job of weaving conflict, surprise, and tension into their tale, paying special care to populate their story with expressive characters. It's a great piece with a cutting sense of humor that any adult who's ever dealt with a government agency should get a kick out of.
"In a quiet office a customer is waiting for the approval of his practice, but for the clerk who helps him will not be so simple to get the right stamp."
