AniFab judge's aggregate score for Chocolate is 5.9 out of 10 with one judge commenting, "Chocolate is a perfect metaphor for the transient nature of life some times. I wanted to really like Chocolate, but found myself a little confused with the end shot.  However, I think it is so important to create works of fiction - blunt force instrument-equivalent of a cinematic punch in the face with animals. Not using animals - and it is clear these filmmakers are animal lovers, but with animals.  Dog is the perfect MacGuffin for this clever action short. I rate Chocolate a POW - right in the kisser!"  One last note - Chocolate is for older kids. You wouldn't want your younger kids to get, "POW - right in the kisser" would you?
