Unsatisfying: Animated Short on Life's Minor Annoyances Goes Viral

The French studio Parallel created an animated short titled 'Unsatisfying' last summer, depicting everyday frustrations like a can stuck in a vending machine, a golf ball missing the hole by a millimeter, toast falling jam-side down, and a file download stopping at 99%. The video spread rapidly across social media as both a film and animated GIFs. Due to its success, the authors launched a challenge inviting animators to submit their own contributions via Vimeo, expanding the catalog of 'annoying things' that grows daily. The project is hosted at unsatisfying.tv.
