5	''Cosmic Laundromat'' (Project Gooseberry) is a movie currently in development by the Creator/BlenderFoundation designed to showcase Blender's new rendering engine, Cycles, among other things. This is also intended to be the first feature-length BF movie and is currently in development, though a short called The First Cycle (which presumably comprises of the first few scenes of the the finished product) has been released.

7	The work is still in production so the full plot is not known at this time but it is known that the central story is apparently of Franck, a suicidally-depressed sheep and Victor, a mysterious man who Franck talks to and appears to have a benevolent intent at first, but also seems to have some sort of as-of-yet unknown agenda.

10	----
11	!!This work contains examples of:
12
13	* AccidentalMisnaming: The last time Franck gets Victor's name wrong seems to be accidental.
14	* BigNo: Franck, when his first suicide attempt fails.
15	* BlackComedy: Franck's depression and failed suicide attempts are all played for laughs.
16	* {{Determinator}}: Franck really, really, '''REALLY''' wants to kill himself. After the tree branch he tried to hang himself from broke, he decided to shove it off a cliff with himself still tied to it and drown instead. It takes huge effort on his part to get the log to the top of the cliff.
17	* DrivenToSuicide: Franck. Played for BlackComedy.
18	* TheEeyore: Franck is suffering from suicidal depression when we first meet him.
19	* GreenEyedRedHead: Victor has bluish-green eyes and bright red hair and beard.
20	* HiddenDepths: Victor seems to think that Franck has some, claiming that he's an adventurer and a lone-wolf, while Franck insists he's just a sheep.
21	* INeverToldYouMyName: Victor gets Franck's attention by calling him by name, even though they don't appear to have ever met before.
22	* InterruptedSuicide: Victor announces himself just as Franck is about to shove the log he's tied to off a cliff.
23	* JitterCam: The viewpoint camera is always shaking slightly during the conversation between Franck and Victor.
24	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The first time Franck expresses any emotion apart from disdain and depression is when [[spoiler:the bleak, leaden, cloud-filled sky begins to fill with swirling multicoloured clouds that diffuse through the black clouds like coloured ink dropped into water which begin to swirl into a tornado of colour that eventually scoops Franck and transports him to an entirely different world]].
25	* MaliciousMisnaming: Franck keeps getting Victor's name wrong, apparently because he just doesn't give a damn about what he's got to say.
26	* MindScrew: Franck [[spoiler:gets transformed into some sort of multi-coloured caterpillar thing. Then Victor climbs out of a washing machine.]] WTF really doesn't do it justice.
27	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Victor looks strikingly like a younger, modern Creator/VincentVanGogh and has a similar-sounding name (possibly intentional given it's a Dutch production and given [[DrivenToSuicide the initial theme of the story]]).
28	* PrecisionFStrike: For the first time in all the Blender {{Short Film}}s; Franck drops one during his conversation with Victor.
29	-->'''Franck''': It took me ages to tie that rope with my fuckin' hooves.
30	* WholePlotReference: There's more than a passing resemblance to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. Franck starts off in a world with a muted colour palette and finds himself drawn into a far more colourful one by an (apparently) benevolent stranger. And the method of his transportation? Tornado!
