Fun, creative, and hilariously dark, JohnnyExpress is a short from South Korean animation company Alfred ImageWorks that manages to pack a fantastic story into a runtime of just five minutes and twenty-six seconds. It takes about 1:45 to get to the big reveal, but you'll want to watch from the beginning. Trust us – you won't regret it.

Pretty excellent, right? The short was written, directed and animated by Kyungmin Woo. We wouldn't be surprised if this started popping up on the awards circuit in the near future. Definitely the highest ratio of enjoyment to time-investment we've come across since this ten second masterpiece.
