Bug Therapy

[Plays Oct. 24 and 25 as part of the 28th Austin Film Festival that runs Oct. 21-28; for information, log on to www.austinfilmfestival.com.] Jason Reisig's delightful, hilarious, charming, colorful, family-oriented, 9-minute animated comedy in which a compassionate insect therapist (voiceover by Phil McGraw) tries to counsel an eccentric group of bugs, including a hemoglobin-fearing mosquito (voiceover by Megan Trainor) that faints when she sees blood, a depressed stick bug (voiceover by Emily Brown) that has a leaf for a pet and feels it is invisible, an OCD-afflicted fly (voiceover by Jay Leno) that obsessively washes his hands with sanitizer, a coffee-addicted grasshopper (voiceover by Tom Green) that is high on caffeine, a praying mantis (voiceover by Emily Goglia) that won't pray and believes she is God, a clingy dragonfly couple (voiceovers by Michael Jann and Michele Jourdan) that are too dependent on each other, and a skittish spider (voiceover by Jason Reisig) that is arachnid-phobic.
