- A man with road rage confronts an elderly driver. Then all hell breaks loose.
NULLARBOR is used with permission from Alister Lockhart and Patrick Sarell. Learn more at nullarborshortfilm.com.
One man drives across the vast and barren landscape of Australia's Nullarbor Plain, which has the longest stretch of straight road in the world.
As the brash young upstart traverses the epic vista, he passes a slower, more laidback motorist and almost gets into an accident. Seeking payback, he goes after the old codger.
But the other motorist proves himself surprisingly intrepid despite his clunky old car and his slow pace. As the younger man tries to outpace him and encounters one obstacle after another, the older man slogs along steadily, adding a new, boisterous twist in this update of the classic "tortoise and hare" tale.
This entertaining and visually striking short animation -- by directors Alister Lockhart and Patrick Sarell, in collaboration with The Lampshade Collective -- is the simplest and most pared-down of stories. Essentially the narrative revolves around a duel between two rivals, with one trying to pull one over the another. Bur rather than pistols or guns, they're dueling with cars, on a road that gives them to ultimate terrain to battle upon.
The writing is equally as stripped-down, but the pacing and editing -- as well a terrific, Western-flavored score -- keep things brisk and compelling despite the lack of dialogue. The storytelling also injects its simplicity with great humor and impeccable, striking 3D craftsmanship -- and also honors the unique landscape of Australia. Both the conflict and humor derive from two vastly different people who function at different tempos with different values sharing the same road. (There's also a few rude bits as well that punctuate the storyline.)
The animation's visual style is earthy and surreal, evoking the colors of the Nullarbor Plain as well as the stretched-out, elongated silhouettes that almost seem to melt underneath the unrelenting desert sun. The characters feel almost like rock figures that have come to life. Yet despite the stylization, the visuals are able to evoke the awe-inspiring desolation of such a long, straight, seemingly endless stretch of road.
But there's a lot of space for anything to happen, and in the end, NULLARBOR exploits animation's ability to portray anything to create a final scene that's both epic in its destruction yet oddly and beautifully evocative of the Australian spirit itself. The result is a slapstick, ironic and weirdly poignant ending to an anarchic, rambunctious road movie to end all road movies: one where no one wins over the highway itself. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
i love that this is being seen by so many people. we loved making this film. wish we could do another one
this deserves a sequel
Outstanding. I laughed and was focused on what the heck would happen next. The emotions were simply and outrageously human. Brilliant. Well Done.
This film was amazing on so many levels. I am with Drew Hughes on this one. This DOES deserve a sequel. Great job. This has to be about the 10th time watching this film for me and every time I watch it, I get the same reaction :Nullarbor + Me = laughing like a hyena!!!
@@lindamchale7837 Me too. This is about my 10th time watching it and I laugh hysterically each and every time.
Why cant you?
Addiction, rage and pettiness are one helluva destructive combination.
For the helluvit

Not to mention stupidity
Youthful arrogance and impatience vs elderly’s quiet wisdom ; with a seniors forgetfulness.
Hilarious! At 61 yrs old , animation is still one of my favourite form of art. Thanks! Keep it up.
I'm 61 and I couldn't agree with you more
I'm 71 and would agree with you, but cant remember what the conversation was!
Yup, pretty damn cool....
They both had a disability.
Arrogance and impatience and the other forgetfulness. But at no point did they work together to help one another with anything.
I recon the old guy wasn't one bit better than the young one. That is what I valued in the story.
Thanks for the love everyone, I’m so proud of our little film and so happy that it is so well loved. I would love to make more of this story. Hell, I’ve put a lot of work into developing a feature script. Maybe one day an opportunity will present its self. Makes me so happy reading all the comments :)
very very good short film, a lot of work ! you deserve and I wish you success and live from your work, you deserve it ! gratitude 😍
i just read some of the comments. feels pretty good Pat
Hello de Paris
Ton court métrage est excellent 👌😄👍
super rad, it made me subscribe,.. whaaaa?, oh ya, good stuff
Thank you for making this film.
a good example of what anger, rage, and seeking payback can get you.
But also a good example of what happens to good people when they try to help too many people.
@@-TheMaskedMan- what it also teaches you is that the old man knew better than the young man but decided to play games with him back and even though he felt sorry in end karma or god got him back when his car rolled over the cliff. What this teaches everyone is to treat everyone with respect and politeness. If someone is rude just move on not worth what it could lead too.

Your right Raijin sad isn't it ,lifes too short
@@paykol3280 It was the theme on Sesame Street yesterday.
Brought to you by the letters Y and P and the number 7.
Anything you ever needed to know about life is expressed in this poignant gem of a story. Every time I watch it I see something I missed before. Thank you making this!
really a great piece showing the consequences of pointless road rage..
I can't leave without saying 'Well Done!'
These things take ages to produce, talent to write and lots of money to make a reality. So respect due!
really ? thaught could take a risk in the industry>
Agreed.
i think the old man sees his young self in the road rage guy
Don't we all.
Old man take a look at your life. Im a lot like you were
- neil young
And the young man sees how he will be later in life...
You think so? Like because he was also young at some point?
I found this one night when I couldn’t sleep. So enjoyable.
Ha!…me too!
This just made my day mate! Tears still rollin' down my cheeks! Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers!
Moral of the story, never be a fool and never partake with one.
Partake meaning pls
@@acordamedico7036 join in with them
No..it's Don't Smoke !
and never want something too much.
No wonder it goes wrong when they all drive in the wrong side of the road. Crazy Aussies!
Thank you for this. I lost my wife 2 months ago and this made me laugh so hard. I sincerely appreciate the ability to find something to laugh about again. I don't understand the haters though.
Hang in there bro
Hey Ed, My condolences. I hope you’re doing well
God bless you ed. And your darling wife amongst the stars.
Oh that's heart breaking :( I'm sorry for your loss. I wish all the best to you and your family during these hard times. Hope you're doing ok
So sorry. Glad this gave you some joy.🙂
The style! The Aussieness! The story! Loved every bit of it.
Over the past year, I've watched this immortal classic several times. It always makes me laugh 😆 and appreciate the wonderful animations, especially their facial expressions.
Welcome to watch new movie
Thanks so much :)
this was my first omeleto experience in 2020. subbed right away. there is too much to mention here.
working on the second draft of the feature right now.
@@patricksarell4781 💯👍
Sometimes people that you might be upset with could be the only person you have at that moment.
Love your prophetic words
How true
@3MM4 P33L uhuh
Yea, because every animation has a lesson to be learned? Really?
@J C
And sometimes those one may think wouldn't care crap about you, or the least expected to give a care, may be the very one who actually does care a crap about you.
We can still surprise one another. And I believe there is still that great chance something amazing will come from all of this. On a positive note too. From and out of all of us.
In my mind this is Nicolas Cage and Clint Eastwood. ❤
This is now canon.
Hey Buddy
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
I thought so too
Same thought here.
Been 40 years since I drove the nullabor. Beautifull artwork. Thank You. PW Bendigo.
I can relate to both of them. This is so satisfying to watch and frustrating at the same time. A great laugh.
Moral of the story: Always make sure you have your parking brake engaged.
Alternate moral: quit smoking.

I think one of my favorite Omeleto's. Love the face of the old man. Awesome animation.
Thank you :)
You guys are unbelievable - with all these movies which have teach us morals and humanity - may God bless you all! Ciao, L (Veteran)
I don't know how this wound up in my recommended list, but I'm glad it did. This was awesome to watch!!!
It's because of something else you watched on CZcams. Something I mentioned in another comments section on another video. Google knows and remembers what you watch and like.
@@ColinGilbert24 That's a bit frightening! They remember us? NO!!!
@@hoffer54 It's not frightening to me. I'm reassured for many reasons as Google location services have helped me to find many lost phones over the years.
May I ask you if you use a smartphone or a laptop or tablet or a desktop PC? And do you know that they have many useful settings? Some of which I'm still learning
Omeleto is a great channel. I've been subbed for a long time and they always deliver something thought provoking!!
Me too😂
This is very artistically done animation, and it takes a lot of talent to leave all the dialog out to watch the story unfold by watching the facial expressions , etc.
@@maninahat7459 indistiguisable dialoge is still not dialoge...it's written in a script like this " indistinguishable diaolog " muttering is muttering , but not words that you can write each one down
I laughed so hard that my husband became jealous of what I was watching and came to find out!!
Thanks... that was awesome.
I really enjoyed this, so well done that it was a privilege to have seen it.
everybody gangsta till the old mans car manages to outrun the train
RJames lmao
Only until it rolls of a cliff into the ocean
IS THIS A JOJOS REFERENCE
@@tommypetraglia4688 And this is why you're supposed to turn the wheel most of the way in one direction or the other, when you park near a cliff or on a hill. Towards the curb, if it's next to a sidewalk.
Another reason not to smoked,
Outstanding artwork - this is from 2011 - I'm surprised I haven't seen this art style since then.
Fantastic little film.
I Knew I had seen this some where before !
There is another brilliant Omeleto which is similar called "Speed Dating", check it out if you want.
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 Not what I was expecting.
I'd thought it was going to be an animation in the same style, but nevertheless it was excellent.
I've never been speed dating, but it perfectly captured the awkwardness I'd imagine I'd feel during the situation.
Wonderfully acted, funny, sad, even poignant, and it flashed by - always a good sign - I'd watch it again.
The last two women - Anne Dudek & Katherine Cunningham were both knockouts too - totally irrelevant, but they were IMHO.
Thanks for the recommendation Stuart - I wish I could reciprocate, but I'm struggling to think of a standout short film off the top of my head when the standard on here is nearly always excellent.
Take care & stay safe ✌️
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 ciao
It almost reminds me of SFM
I've been watching this one over and over every now and then during the last year and it never gets old. Since I build Rat Rods this is right up my alley!
👍👍👍 What a gem. Thanks to all concerned. 43 yrs ago as a Pommie backpacker, I had the joy of "doing" the Nullabor. Hitchhiking, my lift asked me to take over and give him a break. A special experience.
Mate, That is the year I drove across it in a Kingwood.....couldn't believe how much rubbish was strewn on the sides of the road. Never forgot that aspect of it.
I always thought that at the end when Waddy gives him the smoking packet with the gum I thought it symbolised that he used to be just like mr road rage but he quit smoking.
I thought it was just another 'F U' from the universe. I also thought he would be getting a ride home from the older man. Turns out.... another F U.
You are right Ok_Bud
I saw the same thing brother.
The moral is nobody wins in anger
This short is packed with lessons. I loved the unexpected ending. Awsome!
To be calm and tolerant in every situation is the True power..... Beautiful, loveable short movie 🎥❤️👍
R u from karnataka?!
@@aliimran2485 no he is the cartoon in the movie 🙄😁
I’m from Texas. Rage is a thing… in Texas, in everywhere. Loss. It is too great. This film brought me to tears, it made me smile. We need, we do need so much more smiling.
This video= The reality of life, no one is going to no where, at last same destination... So no frustration, no worry, no desire just live this moment, feel it and enjoy it without any attachment and continue the journey peacefully... This will the only way of absolute satisfaction...
For this we need some rough experience but not completely destructive... Keep going, keep loving, keep living...🤸🏃🤾
Love you if you are reading this, live well ❤
I’m seeing this again after a few years. Still one of the best things on the internet! Well done!
Watchu mean few years, this video only 10 months old...
bruh This is blatant, few years? it's only a few months
@@kryogenic4509 the actual animation is older
This was fantastic with great animation and I laughed almost all the way through. It reminding me a bit of the Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.
I said the same thing but later.
Those cartoons lie. Road runner top speed: 26 mph (41.8 kph). Coyote top speed: 43 mph (69.2 kph). Result: Dinnertime.
@@dreadcthulhu5 ok
@@dreadcthulhu5 Nothing would go over my head. If it did I would jump up and catch it!
Funny and great to watch!
The HA HA HA on each train car is gold! 🤣🤣🤣 5:07
I've seen this a dozen times, it's well done and doesn't get old! O love it!
Love the train going by with the letter, "H A" on each and every train car! Brilliant! This was a terrific watch. Thanks.
That was a brilliant touch. I literally LOL'd. :D
I had to go back cause I missed that.
Man your animation is so far beyond what I've seen before,absolutely the very best,and I look forward man to seeing a whole lot more of your work !!!!!
Great one. Had all the precursors to a great short or long. Overall great thank you for being a part.
Be gentle, be calm, be healthy,... don't smoke,... respect the old ones, drive safely,... Am I forgetting something? What an enjoyable and funny short movie!!!
surprising how he managed to survive the explosion and the burning flames lol
that's why they call it animation

Angry Dude Who Hates Everyone r/whoooooooooosh
And how he survived the twisted back
This is the best, cleverest, funniest, most ironic thing I have seen in many years and I've been alive for 63 of them. Sheer genius and done so well... thanks so much for this.
Thank you so much :)
That was wonderful! Much appreciated. Thank you.
This film was very funny, but it's more. The expressions on the faces of these characters----especially the young man's----- were so well-done; you knew exactly the emotions that they were feeling, without a single word. Watching it multiple times, I'm catching smaller, subtle details that are clever and funny. Thank you for sharing this; I've shared it with friends and family.
Moral of the story, never take up smoking.
A seasoned smoker never leaves home without at least 20 backup packs and a box of lighters. Ugh
Also never forget to put your car in park
That guy could've had his cigarette if he only had the patience to stop the damn car while he was looking for it
8-D Moral of the story: You will mess with a fool, you will become a fool yourself.
I'm going for one right now.
That was impressive; incredible art work and wonderful story telling.
This was so good. The ending was so unexpected and top notch 👏🏽
From a ragaholic in recovery I loved it. It's hilarious and at the same time people might sympathise with the rager after watching all his misfortunes.
Did the train just say hahahahahahaha
Thanks for pointing it out. I had missed it.
The miracle is how the youngest guy has managed to reach this age with his mindset.
Vardaris we see it all the time in trauma surgery. They mix alcohol with boating, four-wheelers or motorcycles and end up with life changing injuries. Oh and they never have insurance,are ungrateful and get all medical care at the expense of the taxpayers.
Still manages to be alive ...
That guy has some serious issues he needs to work out with a therapist.
@@havenzhai5187 Always the taxpayers. What would happen if everyone just refused?
Nicotine Withdrawal.
10 minutes of animation awesomeness. I want more.
I love it! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
Absolutely outstanding! Killer animation, great detail, smooth movement. The cars were totally off the hook. So well done.. Had me smiling through the entire short.. Well done. Nice curve ball at the end.
Only someone who has driven over the Nullarbor and stopped at the Great Australia Bight can truly appreciate and grasp the hysterically funny, yet tragic plot to this short film. Well done.
I dunno, the car probably ran better after the leap of faith that it made.
Or between fort Stockton and El Paso Texas on an almost empty tank of gas with a half pack of cigs, no light, and hot beer. Out there better be nice to anyone else as they could help save your life, lmao 😂
And only someone who has driven a car along it would realise that there is no train crossings.
@@varrjames186 🤣🤣👍
There is, right here, some kind of certain Australia themed nostalgia i will never experience in my life.)
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
That was absolutely the best comedy that I have seen - captured Aussie scenery to boot - funny, lovely images and great characters... great effort!!!
Its like a take of humanity now. We are all in this TOGETHER.
Think I've met both these guys on the road! Brilliant!
Sorry I missed this when it first posted. Funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Beautifully written and paced. This is what excellent film making is all about.
Says so much about life without words.. ♥
Wonderful! Powerful story - the humor is superb and the artistry is beyond belief!👏🏻
What a great clever little video. I’ve driven the Nullarbor many times over the last 50 something years so this added a whole new dimension.
Frikkin Brilliant. Excellent work, so funny and the animation and story line too. Congrats. Love your work.
This is REALLY well done.
Congrats to Alister Lockhart, Patrick Sarell and The LampShade
He is my best friend's father haha
Great movie. I love how it has a bit of a "Roadrunner" feel to it. Takes me back
Road Runner? Only if the Cigarette Machine was made by the ACME company.
Beep Beep
An absolute masterclass in your field, I'd love you to create more of that genius 👍
Una joya. Disfruto cada momento cada vez que lo veo. Los personajes tan entrañables, con sus expresiones tan reales. Los detalles de los autos, de los paisajes, de las máquinas....
Felicitaciones por este film.
The colors, the attention to details. It was amazing to watch! Thank you from Dennis. USA
This was so creative and witty. Amazing sound effects, truly well done.
this was a beaut short little vid. cheers mate.
gorgeous, gorgeous and masterfully done. Thank you!
life is a learning process. even the veterans make mistakes too.
That's what I got out of it.
As an older type... you never stop learning. You are pretty much the same person all your life ( barring any super traumatic experience) you just get older and hopefully wiser.
I saw it as because he is old, his fading memory made him forget to put the handbrake on.
The importance of always putting the handbrake on, before you leave your car, is usually a "learning process" that happens well before old age :)
@@olddoggeleventy2718 I totally agree. :)
@@kyliepechler It's easy to forget, especially in a situation like this. Unfortunately with age it's easier to forget too, though you may get wiser.
ONE OF THE BEST SHORTIES EVER.. SO ENJOYED THE IRONY OF IT ALL..... BEEN THERE DONE THAT .. BIB BIG SMILES.
Unreal, loved it, amazing colours too. Thanku so much 🥰
Too cool!. I've seen alot of animated shorts & that ranks up there. Not only the message, but that it depics the road trains of Australian outback. A fascination of mine since I was a kid
Lmao when he showed the middle finger to him when he asked for a cigarette
Old man: 'Have a stick, my *middle* stick'that is'.
Yeah. I was afraid I woke my wife laughing out loud when he did that.
Well, that's how he lost his car in the end xD at least in the movie ;)
The old saying, "no good deed goes unpunished". LOL These are really some creative and funny videos!
be humble & patient all the times and we need each other every time because of human being
Guys, man I gotta tell you. That was cool as hell. As good as anything I've EVER SEEN along those lines. Inventive, beautiful, just awesome. So Talented ! That threw me. All I can do is share this with everyone. Best of luck, very very nice. Just Wow!!
Made my day John, thanks :)
"The nullarbor"! God bless you, Omeleto, for make me see the best 3D work I never saw! The storie is lovely too.

So brilliant! I've done this road trip in my early 20's. Camped overnight with the most fabulous sunsets. Crept to the edge of those coastlines and revelled in the beauty and contrast with just the twist of my neck! Great graphics and story 😂🤗👏
This is my new favorite channel.
Damn the old guy was only enjoying his drive give him a break
Had the appearance of a tough as old boot Desert Rat.
Can just hear the trucker calling out, "Social Distancing".
Thank you I'm a new sub.Keep it coming . God bless you
Oh Golly that was so Good! The Artwork awesome and so realistic! Doesn't everyone know THAT guy?
Great Short! Very well done. I felt more compassion for those 2 animated character in 10 minutes than I do for most characters in full lenght movies.
I first watched this video in 2016. Very good job to who ever made it!
:]
greetings from Bavaria, Germany! This is an awesome Short! Love the Faces of them both! Reminds me to Australians (so well done!). No Words but everybody watching will understand!! I.WANT.MORE.OF.THIS!!!
Working on it
thank you i loved this!!!
This was amazingly entertaining! Awesome job!
To the creators of this video I salute you. I don’t know why but I found this extremely entertaining and had a great lesson in it with a surprise twist ending . The best 10.24 seconds I have spent on the computer in a very long time. The old guy reminded me of a cartoon drawing of my grandfather. It was awesome Thanks
Love It! Love It!! I needed a good laugh today. You're brilliant
