Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

osakar The reviewer at the bottom of this list had it right. Salad Fingers is great mood. But what does it actually show? The world it portrays is a world of ONLY the Shadow; The Shadow and isolation - nothing more. But this is a purge: it does not show the truth of the world: only Miyazaki does that. Spirited Away does it best.A world of only shadow appeals only to those who blind themselves to light.*** I still give this 7 for the mood and for nostalgic reasons. I like it when the red water comes out.**** I refer to the Shadow as Jung described it; that hidden, darker aspect of the unconscious.

TheBlueHairedLawyer The animation in the Salad Fingers cartoon isn't bad. The problem is, it's incredibly strange. I love weird things, I love The Addams Family, The Corpse Bride, Eating Raoul, etc. but Salad Fingers is weird to the point where not only is it not funny, it's just more annoying and dull than anything else.The story of Salad Fingers appears to be that Salad Fingers was a normal guy, but after a nuclear bomb was dropped, he is the lone survivor and is getting sick - mentally and physically - from radiation. As he is the lone survivor in what looks to be post-war Britain, he has gone mad and begun inventing imaginary playmates for himself.There is an interesting plot here, but one of the other reviews seems to think it was a cartoon made to raise awareness of the environment and pollution. Clearly it is just meant to be comedic and to appeal to those out there who love creepy things, not everything has a message behind it. Salad Fingers has little, if any, soundtrack. It has one, maybe two, voice actors. For an independent cartoon you can see that effort has obviously been put in, but there are some moments to recall that are not only strange, but perverse and disgusting, frankly pointless: 1) Salad Fingers picks up a rusty spoon and says aloud, "the feeling of rusty spoons against my salad fingers is almost orgasmic". What the hell? 2) Salad Fingers pokes himself with a dead nettle plant and says "the nettle makes the milk squirt from my teat." Uh, what the hell again? 3) Salad Fingers' "birthing scene" in the last couple episodes... ugh.4) he appears to murder a small child and then dreams of being in a meat locker.5) He pops a sowbug named Bordois open with his finger.6) he stabs himself and says, "I like it when the red water pours out." Sometimes it's best just to listen and not see for yourself.Honestly, avoid this cartoon, it's a waste of time to watch, is at times something only psychopaths would find humerus, it's just not worth it. Its current 8.3 out of 10 rating makes me very worried for society.

Doctor_Phil Another reviewer wrote, "it really does open your mind to what the world is coming to, what we're doing to the Earth, and in time what we could do to ourselves if we succeed in perishing our world. People who appreciate art, and appreciate a profound storyline will enjoy Salad Fingers: contrary to the belief it's an absurd cartoon with little meaning."Art is a slippery concept. There are artistic elements here: the character quirks and gentle psychosis of salad fingers, the dream-like, minimalist animation. But mere creation of a mood does not, in my mind, rise to the level of art. I don't mean to condemn the attempt with my low rating. Experiments must be made. But this is a failed experiment, and because it lacks any structure, conventional narrative, or beauty, there's nothing left to like after that failure. There is no profound storyline. Salad Fingers does not speak to human experience, not even the experience of delusional psychotics. There is no reasonable, interesting, apparent interpretation of the events, no way to make sense of it. (And don't tell me that "not making sense is its sense!" Kafka did that right. This is not Kafka.) It's a bunch of random creepy stuff thrown together, made independently without any story or plan.

Kyle Campbell On coming across Salad Fingers I was completely grossed out by the initial look of the cartoon series, yet as I watched more of the episodes I became completely engrossed in the cartoon. While others look at it as: disturbing, freaky, creepy, vile and disgusting, and wish it to be banned, those who believe it shows or expresses nothing at all. I find it extremely deep, haunting and meaningful. I find it extremely artistic and is a great image to what society might become in years to come. It's a perfect example of modern day pop art. Salad Fingers is a perfect example of the common person suffering from post-apocalyptic loneliness after all his surroundings have been destroyed by the war. What we see is Salad Fingers day to day life, acting out sheer surrealist and twisted story lines that succeed in making the viewer feel incredibly uncomfortable. We see him driven to insanity and we see the delirious mind-set in which he suffers to live through, and yet, we feel sorry for him, as we witness what alienation and loneliness can do to a person's mind, we observe his mind and his thoughts and feelings, and we see the symbolisation of the mind in it's darkest manner. I have never come across a Flash series quite like this, it really does open your mind to what the world is coming to, what we're doing to the Earth, and in time what we could do to ourselves if we succeed in perishing our world. People who appreciate art, and appreciate a profound storyline will enjoy Salad Fingers: contrary to the belief it's an absurd cartoon with little meaning.
