Save Ralph (2021) - Spencer Susser

Ralph, the white rabbit, wakes up on the lab’s cold metal table after a routine morning. As he recounts his day in front of the cameras, he calmly reveals the brutal reality behind cosmetic testing. This stop-motion film by Spencer Susser uses the aesthetics of animation to invite the viewer into an unsettling confrontation. Ralph’s daily fresh wounds and the physical deterioration he accepts as a professional necessity bring the industry’s hidden side into sharp focus. Without resorting to grand speeches, it leaves the viewer face-to-face with a silent complicity, conveyed solely through the character’s daily rhythm.
