Very cool animation

Very cool and impressive animation, done with an incredible visual style that looks quite different from any other CGI animation that I've seen before.

"Codehunters" has a fascinating setting, a cast of very interesting and cool characters, and good level of action and mystery that kept my attention from the beginning to the end.

My only complaint about this short is that it actually leaves you wanting to see more. Normally I have no problem when one movie or short doesn't have any dialogue, but this time I think that I would have been nice to have some background information about the characters that appear in this short and the strange world where the action takes place.

The ending actually gives the impression that this short was only the beginning of a much bigger story.
