After being zapped to life, the monster—who prefers to go by the name “Dennis” in this 10-minute short—is incredibly shy and it is up to the good doctor and his right hand man, Trevor, to get him adjusted to the world.
However, this film doesn’t only employ jabs at the tropes of the traditional Frankenstein story for laughs, or colorful cute sock puppets for comic relief, it also insists upon being just as informative as it is fun.
The doctor spews factual information on why some of us are more shy than others, and the number of ways we can combat this obstacle in our lives—including encouragement and welcoming from others, going out of our way to meet new people, and even love.
In a turn of events, this informative short turns romantic as “Project X,” a female living monster, is introduced to Dennis because “the desire to find a life partner is a strong incentive to overcome shyness.”
