It's a bit more than 8kB, but if you like unexpectedly dark animated movies about sheep I recommend the Blender Foundation's open movie Cosmos Laundromat[0]. Their movies always seem to be weirdly dark for tech demos for some reason. I thought this one in particular came out really well.

"Weirdly dark" is a pretty apt description of the Dutch sense of humor, I suspect it's mainly because of that.

Be forewarned: the movie ends with a “to be continued” and the wikipedia page reads: > The film was originally intended to kickstart a feature-length film. A short film sequel was written and designed but never brought to production. In 2020, [the producer] announced that the one film would be the total of the project. So if you don’t feel like having the disappointment of an intriguing concept that you’ll never find the resolution for, maybe skip it.

  Well, it's still a cool video. If you (the same "you" as in my parent comment) can't handle a 12 minute animation about a sheep never reaching its final resolution, maybe you need the practice. ;)

  I still hope there will be more Agent 327 videos some day. Either in short form or as feature-length. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN0zPOpADL4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN0zPOpADL4

    Oh, come on, what a ridiculous comparison. As if deciding to skip a 10 minute short would reflect in any way on one’s life decisions. This website, man. No wonder the wider internet makes fun of Hacker News. For crying out loud.

On a random related note, courtesy of Netflix, the entire movie is available for download from S3 as a series of 18,192 uncompressed EXR images[1], which came in handy when I was experimenting with HDR in DaVinci Resolve.
