Gaston's Odyssey

Gaston's Odyssey (French: L'Odyssée de Gaston) is a 2008 comedy brickfilm by "France & Alex".

Plot
A man, Gaston, approaches a woman on a bench and asks where her legs are. She is confused by the question as she has two legs, and she asks Gaston about his own. Gaston looks at his own two legs and becomes flustered wondering where his legs have gone, as the woman makes an excuse to leave. Gaston wakes up. He is relieved that he was only dreaming and still has his full body, which is revealed to be centaur-like with four legs. He heads outside, and it is seen that everyone else in the land also has four legs. As Gaston walks through town, his clumsiness leads to a number of mishaps, which he does not notice. He approaches a croissant-selling cart but accidentally knocks the brake off it, and it begins to roll away. The seller chases after it as it rolls down a hill, and another man on the street narrowly avoids being hit by it and then also by a sign it knocked down. Gaston calls to greet the man, George, but George is alarmed to see Gaston and remembers back to when Gaston managed to injure him multiple times when trying to carry a piano with him, so runs away.

Gaston arrives at a beach. He sees a billboard advertising skiing holidays and daydreams about skiing. He does not look where he is going and falls off a dock into a boat, getting knocked out as the boat takes him out to sea. Days go by and he awakens to find himself surrounded by water, so decides to go back to sleep. Eventually, the boat grounds on a desert island, and when Gaston wakes up, he explores in search of food.
