Presented as as part of Cartoon Brew’s Student Animation Festival (which also includes Evan Red Borja’s Otzi), Pest by Nooree Kim is a hilariously odd animation that focuses around a strange blue boy whose only goal in life seems to annoy others. Created as a 4th year film for her studies at Toronto’s Sheridan College, whilst Pest will surely be an audience favourite for its off-kilter humour, it’s also a beautifully realised piece of animation. Putting her focus on designing strong characters first and then developing a story around them, animator Kim uses a wide selection of Adobe’s Creative Suite products to create an intricate universe for her pesky protagonist to inhabit.
