Dan Hartney's Buckethead is an enjoyable piece of animation, with an effective use of sound and colour as a key part of the story's development. Buckethead drives the animation, rather than the other way round. Hartney takes a simple story and fills it with life and humour. Buckethead's transition from robot creaking through an alienated landscape to dancing with the joyful zest of Gene Kelly is a pleasure to watch.
