This unfortunate state of affairs for the character gives rise to a series of funny situations. This is literal manipulation, as well as a reflection on manipulation in the figurative sense.
Daniel Greaves' Oscar-winning film cleverly mixes human hands and a drawn animated character. This technique is called pixilation, shooting the live action of the hands frame by frame alongside the character animation, making them to appear to be interacting with one another. What makes the film funny is the anticipation and the sense of the unexpected, and the way in which it playfully comments on the animation process.
