Pixels (2010) is a short animated movie written by Belgian film director Patrick Jean. Basically Pixels is a mini flick about the world which was invaded by old-school 8-bit video games like Tetris, Pac-Man etc. However, the winner of the Best Short Film at the 2011 Annecy International Animated Film Festival has loads different angles and shades to be interpreted. One could say it is a movie about an uncontrolled influence that video games and modern technologies have on the mass in general, that ultimately will lead to world destruction. Nevertheless, the others can see in Pixels the era that is slowly passing away. The characters were created more than 30 years ago and the nostalgia that filling you up while watching this movie is inexpressible. Current generation will never get it and feel the same way in 20 years later remembering playing GTA. World has changed. People have changed.
