A 2006 Dutch animated science fiction fantasy short film and the first
"open movie" produced by the Blender Foundation. Directed by Bassam
Kurdali, the film was created entirely with free and open-source software,
primarily Blender. It tells the story of Emo and Proog, two characters
exploring a strange and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog,
acts as a tour guide, showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to
the increasingly skeptical Emo. The film, its production files, and all
source assets (roughly 7 GB of data) were released under a Creative
Commons Attribution 2.5 license, allowing anyone to remake, remix, and
re-purpose the film. The title references a Dutch tradition of abruptly
ending children's bedtime stories with a sneezing elephant.
