These 12 minutes are the newest release from the successful Dutch production company Blender Foundation. Back in 2012, they stepped into the new area of live action movies, but with "Cosmos Laundromat", they are back to animation. Unfortunately, it is not really a successful return. I do not think that this is on par with "Big Buck Bunny" or even the outstanding "Sintel". Certainly disappointing as director Mathieu Auvray and writer Esther Wouda are both fairly experienced filmmakers and the inclusion of the pretty well-known actor Pierre Bokma to voice the main character is an interesting one as well. But all this is not enough, if the story is just not as interesting, smart and emotional enough. From the technical perspective, Blender delivers as usual. Nothing wrong with the visual side of the film at all. Still, my overall verdict is: Not recommended and if they really make a sequel as it is implied at the end, I am not sure if I have an interest in watching it.
