It irks me when an otherwise fun time-travel plot is hijacked by a waving-of-the-hands explanation of how, during the time-travel, the Earth continued to rotate or orbit the sun or orbit the Milky Way or whatever, but never mind: The emphasis is on the word “fun” in this 17-minute short that was written based on the following constraints submitted by the filmmakers’ fans (but—dammit!—where’s Dinosaur Kid?):
[list]
[*] Cannot take place entirely in one location.[/*]
[*] Someone must say the words “time travel.”[/*]
[*] Two characters must have a long-standing rivalry.[/*]
[*] When one character was a kid, he/she used to wish he/she could travel back in time to see real-life dinosaurs.[/*]
[*] One character is a wine lover and is very picky/elitist about their wine.[/*]
[*] One character prefers bubble baths to showers.[/*]
[*] Someone has to say: “I have to go back.”[/*]
