A Runaway Robot Makes a Difference for Two Lonely Rabbits in the New Stop-Motion Short ‘TENNIS, ORANGES’

March 20, 2024

“Somewhere in the world, there’s a quiet street where nothing ever happens,” begins the tagline for Sean Pecknold’s new short film, “TENNIS, ORANGES.” But all of that is about to change when a robot vacuum quits its job at a nearby hospital and wanders down the street on a mission to make a difference. For two lonely rabbits whose daily routines are stuck in a perpetual, repetitive loop, things will soon get pretty interesting.

The trailer for the new film, which premiered this month at SXSW, features captivating sets designed in collaboration with Adi Goodrich and stunning stop-motion animation by Pecknold, who has worked on projects for clients like The New York Times, Sony, Netflix, the BBC, and many more. Find more on Pecknold’s Vimeo channel, and keep an eye on his Instagram for updates about future screenings.
