I’m one of those people who
always hated working in groups in classrooms and at the office. Even in grad school I found myself surrounded
by lazy ne’er-do-wells who wouldn’t carry their weight, but would happily take
co-credit for my labor. I still prefer
autonomy. But even mavericks and lone
wolves need a helping hand (or paw) every once in a while. Sometimes we might have to spread the wealth
or forgo credit entirely in order to benefit greater numbers or even just to
keep our own moral compasses aligned.
A disenfranchised squirrel learns
this hard the hard way in Toonbox Entertainment’s THE NUT
JOB, whose title alludes to the rogue
protagonist’s mental state as well as the similarly complicated heists
perpetrated in crime movies THE ITALIAN JOB
and THE BANK JOB.
