Shelved is an animated short sci fi film telling the comedic/tragic story of a couple of warehouse robots that get replaced by humans.

The movie was created by Auckland’s Media Design School and its comedic elements are a nod towards the early films of directors Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) and Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused).
