Question
I saw the anime video for Tori Amos's "Cruel" song. I find it really hard to understand the actual subject of the video. So I thought that maybe I'm missing something. Maybe there's a real individual cartoon with these characters. This would make the video a colage. Could it be that an episode(or a story)from this cartoon (or whatever it is) was "rebuilt" on Tori's song? Do you know anything about such a thing?

Answer
Hi Alexandra!

Well, you've stumped me!! I've never heard of this video your speaking of. Is there any way you could share the information with me so I could take a look at it?

Just one thought I have - her videos have not always made sense to me. Caught and Lite Sneeze and Raspberry Swirl to name a few off the top of my head. They don't seem to jive totally with the song but be rather another expression of someones art. That could be the case here too.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'd love to see what you're looking at so hopefully you are able to pass that along.

Thanks and have a great holiday!
