Leaves a good taste, but ending lacks originality.
Great little animation. I would only with for an ending that gives more that the standard "waiting for the next victim" conclusion.
Since it's bizarre to have the victim compacted into the size of a stick of gum, it would have been neat to see 1000 new gum pieces erupt from the original, maybe showing different flavors or colors, maybe different types of candy instead of just gum. Have them erupt in a shower into the sky, then show maybe three different scenes with the new pieces landing in different locations. At the last scene, a new victim notices the candy/gum, hinting a new cycle of reproduction.
Again, a great little piece with smooth animation.
