    Suddenly, a creature with a vague human form springs from the sand... He quickly creates some colleagues and with half a dozen of them - of all shapes and sizes - now milling about, they decide it's time to build themselves homes. Each will be tailored to their unique shape. Nope, the creatures don't all get on, but as we progress their improving constructions skills and their abilities to synchronise with the lively and jolly score become quite entertaining to watch. The use of stop motion techniques to quite literally animate the sand is clever and it's imaginative too....
