A Caveman, an Archer, and a Knight Try to Swat a Fly in Animated Short Film

io9 points us to a fun little short film about an innocent fly that wouldn't hurt...well, a fly. It's called "The Bloop Troop," and it follows three humans — a caveman, an archer, and a knight — as they attempt to murder the fly for no reason whatsoever. The brilliance of the brightly-lit animated short is in its simplicity: it's one of those kinds of projects that lends itself equally well to being assessed for exactly what it is on the surface or as a metaphor for just about anything you want it to be about. Take a look below and let us know what you think:
