Put simply, you’ll probably never see a noir film quite like this. Key Lime Pie was directed by Trevor Jimenez in 2007, and recommended on Twitter by Joaquin Baldwin, a talented young animator featured on Open Culture some months ago. It runs a quick 3 and a half minutes.

Great.
Thanks for posting it.
Dear Open Culture-
Long time fan of film noir. Have never seen a cartoon, black and white, tough guy voiceover and dread inducing noir music. Fantastic! Really swell!

Well done! Quite unusual and suspenseful — all in B&W animation and all in 3.5 minutes. Kudos!
