In this animated short, French director Pleix creates a cute and slightly surreal laundry scene.

Bird-like eggs and tennis balls chirp away amongst the socks and underwear. Why? You the hell knows, but it’s impossibly adorable.

Well, except for that infernal chirping and cheery soundtrack which pounds relentlessly into your brain. While a large part of me enjoyed this joyous cartoon, the other more sinister part was plotting the demise of these wide eyed characters.

Just imagine it: one of those bouncing balls veers too close to the spin cycle and it’s all over in a great big bloody mess! It might sound terrible, but it’d make the chirping stop!
