Aesop & Son

. . . Aesop and Son explores the Heartbreak of Gluttony. Eating disorders of the Thin & Famous always have gotten bigger press than the Problems of Pudgy Private People. Representing the latter group, the hare follows in the footsteps of many sad lads. They grow up eating like horses, with nothing sticking to their bones. Then one day they meet a German cook and\or Home Economics major, and suddenly they cannot see their own feet when they're standing up. In this film, the tortoise stands in for the Prussian chef. The hare is depicted as the doomed former fast flier. After sampling the tortoise's trough, his running days are over.
