The third film in PES' series of food animations. I only just realised this had come out, after I re-watched the Western Spaghetti and Fresh Guacamole films for the millionth times. PES again manages to pick all the right props for his pixilation/stop-motion short, which makes you go "oh yeah *everyday item* does look like *food item*". It is full of lovely smooth animation, and we finally get a full body look at our mysterious chef, but I thought that despite the slick production it wasn't quite as engaging as the previous two efforts. I think where the first two films (and Western Spaghetti in particular) were so great was that they showed more interesting processes. Cutting a boxing glove into slices of ham is cool, but then the next ingredient is also sliced on the same machine, and the next, and the next. Where Western Spaghetti showed slicing, boiling, frying, serving, Submarine Sandwich repeats the one action and leaves me wanting more from an animator who can do so much better.
