Looking back to our respective childhoods, it's weird how many famous nursery rhymes and songs for kids tend to include violence and other macabre elements (Doesn't Humpty Dumpty end with him dying?)
We just never pay too much attention to such details because of the fun lyrics and the happy tunes. And also because we were little kids when we heard them by the first time.
Taking that in consideration, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the ending of this Canadian short, a very charming cutout animation about a frog and a mouse getting married which ends with both of them being eating by a snake which appears at the very last moment.
But it took me by surprise anyway, considering how happy everything was before the ending.
A quite good short anyway, very enjoyable to watch despite its bitter conclusion.
