Reviews
- "Chernokids" was named short film of the day in a review by Scott Beggs on June 6, 2011.[5]
The look and feel of the animation is somewhere between Pixar and a Slipknot music video that’s been burnt on one side and left out in the desert. The result is something that might play in a dank backroom of a short film festival (or out in the open of Fantastic Fest).[6]
