Wind-Up is a CG animated short set late at night in a toy shop. An older, prize-winning robot toy fears being replaced by his maker’s latest invention, a mechanical squirrel.
As the older toy rallies an army of fellow robots with the intention of vanquishing what he perceives as a threat to his security, a shocking realization sets him on a different path. Wind-Up explores themes of the "old versus the new" and how they can both conflict and coexist.
