I was shown this at a film camp at Del Val college (where they filmed the movie signs) and that scene of the kids eyes missing scared the living shit outta me.

This short makes Coraline look like a fun family friendly movie 😅 if I had seen this as a kid I would have been scarred for life ! Would love to have seen this made into a full feature length film

This short looks like Tim Burton animation.

Like so many others who have commented on here, I had to have to watch this short in Year 8 English, we had to write a review on it in my case, and whilst writing the reviews, we got screenshot handed to us and one of those did include the kid with no eyeballs. Couldn’t sleep that night after I saw it. It’s beautifully animated and telling the story without any dialogue is impressive, but my god, this was disturbing and creepy. The after credits ending especially, when you realise this is a regular occurrence in whatever city or town this is set in, or even around the world. I dread to think how the poor mother reacted the next morning once she saw her child. Also Cosgrove Hall helped on this short, the same animation company as Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Jamie and the Magic Torch etc. Quite surprising, as this has to be one of the darkest projects they worked on, other than the animated version of The BFG.

7:57 HE’S OFF TO NEVA NEVA LAAAAANNNNDDDD!!!!

I like the way how they title the Name Sandman kinda a Michael Jackson inspired like how they did it with Thriller

I had a dream as a young boy, 5-6 yrs old where I was walking down a long road with my mum and brother, only to turn around and see that they had both disappeared, I then turn to the wall nearby to see the Sandman's face on all the leaf's of the plant growing on the wall. I had never seen this animation before but the face stuck with me. Had this same nightmare 4-5 times over the space of a few months. Fast forward to me being 15 years old in art class and my art teacher plays this animation for some reason, the chills I felt on that day were unreal. No one believed me... This is a true story.

why did i watch this a kid? was scary as hell

I was watching TH-cam at 3:00 on my bed, with all the lights off. This got recommended, and I watched it. I loved it but I regret watching it at the same time…

Is there anyone who didn't see this with the English teacher?

bomba explosiva en tubería de gas✓✓

Does anyone else think the sandmans baby's are cute??? 😅

It reminds me of Henry Slick.

I swear I was shown this in school, idk why we were but I definitely remember this, reminds me of Tim burtons art style, what a terrifying story, imagine telling your child the original story of the sandman before bed

TMA reminded me of this masterpiece 🙏

MTV was peak animation for Halloween

My teacher show me this in elementary

Hello young man may I have your eyes.

Why bother going to sleep if this monster is just going to wake you up anyway.

“This is terrifying! I can’t wait to show my students this!”- Most English Teachers Apparently

Who came here after watching Jon Solo’s video?

The things you see while on the toilet...... I thought it was gonna be that metallica song

This posted in August 2007, this in 2002, not 1990s.

MORE

It was broadcasted in MTV in USA and Locomotion in Latin America during the late 90s and early 2000s.

Paul Berry made this short while working on "The Nightmare Before Christmas" with Tim Burton on Disney.

This looks so much like it was made by Tim Burton

This is not "cute" in the least.😢

Last credit sequence

"omul din luna"... "omul lunii"; o poveste de adormit copiii :) un OM, tot un OM... OMUL meu? si TU"tu"/ EL"el"? TU"tu"/ EL"el"? EU"eu" Petrariu Aura (Izaura/ Isaura/ Issaura; IEDERA Hedera helix "I")

Anoth to give anyone bloom nightmares I bet it didn't win you any rewards and didn't deserve to either well no loss

Put one foot in front of the other

This is horrifying!! What the H!??

The Sandman reminds me of judderman ngl

My god, WHY

Okay, its fucked me up.

Kind of reminds me of Ghadius from Klonoa Door To Phantomile.

I love this short film but it prevents me from sleeping

My english teacher put this on in class back in middle school about 12 years ago and it scared the shit out of me, it still does tbh. 🤣

What is the history of this?

Looks like the same person who made them Puffs commercials back in the day

I remember I seen this wen I was younger and I couldid sleep 😭

The sandman is kinda fine not gonna lie

This animation looks abit like Tim Burton

The fantasy vas real 😭😭😭 and nightmare real

That was a Terrible Ending! 😢

This came out not long before I was born. I'm REALLY glad I didn't see it as a kid; it probably would have scared me too much to ever fall asleep with my face out in the open. Even now, as an adult, it's gravely unsettling. Though this might explain why so many people go to bed with masks over their eyes...

The music for the bird man is frightening but cool

Wow, never seen. Pre Tim Burton!.. I'm scared..💪😉
