This is one of my favorite short films and I agree with your analysis of it. It’s a simplistic, charming animation that’s a little rough around the edges, but overall is able to tell an easy to follow story that holds the viewer’s attention.

I never actually thought about how the slot machine was foreshadowing the fact that the diamond is actually a bomb, but that makes a lot of sense! I also noticed that if you look closely when the diamond is first seen at the beginning of the video, you can tell that the top of the diamond is a lid of sorts, further hinting that it is not a real diamond.
