The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello is an award-winning 2005 Australian animated short film about a world where dirigibles are the main transportation. There's a flesh-eating plague responsible for increasing numbers of death. Our hero is a conflicted navigator who left his wife at home caring for plague victims when he is assigned to another exploratory voyage to look for a cure.



HorrorNews.net says, "From the first sepia-toned images of a smokey cityscape through which industrial-chic ironclads glide, you know you’re seeing something special." Rotten Tomatoes has an audience rating of 89%.

  4. I also enjoyed it. It's not like it's a feature film. I've spent far worse 28 minutes (grin).
