Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
One might think it inappropriate to remember such an ugly time with quirky animation of this type, and yet against all odds, there's something about it that works.

Should I See It
Rating: 7/10 --
...uses satire bordering on absurdity to refer to a horror that, if it were expressed directly, few could bear to watch.

Don't mistake it for a bleak history lesson, though; this is grounded madness, like Eraserhead rendered in felt.

A feeling of surreal disconnection and an elliptical approach to storytelling distinguish This Magnificent Cake!

Chicago Reader
At 44 minutes, "This Magnificent Cake" may be a long short or a short feature. Either way, it's an intriguing, disturbing film, utterly unlike American studio animation.

Product Description:
In this animated anthology film, a king, a pygmy, a jungle porter, a soldier and a businessman in 19th-century Belgian Congo experience the effects of European colonialism. As the characters' paths intertwine, they are faced with the cruelty, violence and inequality man is capable of when trying to survive. Written and directed by Emma De Swaef and Marc James Roels.
