The bizarre characters of the unusual Wish List animation video by animator Griff and illustrator Scot Garrett put forth requests for strange and unlikely items that most people may have overlooked in their own wish lists.
Among many strange desires in this video, a man whose entire body is up in flames calmly requests instructions, a beat-red gentleman would like some bones for his dangling fingers and a floating outline of a donkey simply asks for details. These types of immediate demands seem out of line with the consumerist culture that dictates the desire for more money and more stuff at all times.
The unusual Wish List makes us think outside of the box about what it is we want and why.
