The Fiddler Crab - Animated Short, Taiwan

Texas Premiere!

​This is a work for nostalgia, and environmental protection.  The fiddler crab A-hang started an adventure to get rid of his natural enemies. After he met a hermit crab A-Sing on the way, they encountered difficulties and then became good friends. Metaphorically it’s a story of how a young person returned homeland after working and leaving away from home for years.

In this film, several elements are rendered from the reality, such as the hermit crab taking a plastic cap for his shelter, the habitat of the fiddler crab surrounded by an industrial area, and how invasive alien plants affected the eco-system; that is, how creatures survive from the climate change can be a similar case to human beings. In terms of these personalized characters in a reflective story, this film would like to awaken the audience to love and care more for the land and the environments.

Director CHUN-SHUO HUANG is the founder of Time Door Studio, is a director and art director, devoted to animation production and film taking for years. His works include animation, music video, VFX, micro movies, commercials, event planning, and interactive art.
