Sound Task: Deconstruction - Adventure Time: Food Chain

When we were first shown examples of animated shorts/stings, I immediately thought of this short from Adventure Time (that I may have blogged about before).
Its dynamic animation and bouncy comedic soundtrack combine to make a funny and technically intriguing short. The song doesn't really work without the visuals, and the visuals are mostly nonsense without the song for context, and this co-dependence is the strength of the short as a whole. I want my sting to be completed by the inclusion of sound, rather than sound being an afterthought that doesn't make any difference to the animation as a whole.
While my stings will probably be a fair bit darker than soaring food chain musical numbers, the essence of the animation responding to the sound is vital to the success of a short sting, as it only has a few seconds to get its message across.
