Jacob Wyatt’s short animated film Metro is exactly the sort of thing you should be watching, assuming you’re on the Internet instead of out enjoying the holiday weekend weather. But who are we kidding, you’re most likely in for the night because Breaking Bad is on, right? So why not watch this delightful short film about a young girl who has trouble navigating the wild world of the subway, only to meet a ticket-stealing fox who leads her on an adventure beneath the streets. The journey is serene and the destination is gorgeous, all beautifully animated in between. [via io9 and Geek Art Gallery]

Why Watch? In an effort to make the everyday terrifying, director Victor Miralles has created a sparse view from underground in Metro. Who knew passing through the turnstiles could get so Kubrick-ian? It’s a subway designed by M.C. Escher’s evil twin. Quiet, disturbing and endless. What will it cost? Only  minutes. Skip Work.
