Tied Up

Tied Up (2025) is a Russian-Canadian animated feature you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Konstantin Bronzit — the animator behind two Academy Award-shortlisted short films. It runs 83 minutes.

Mac is a high-end necktie who lands in a dumpster and absolutely does not belong there, at least in his own estimation. His fellow discards: a cracked vase, a nearly empty air-freshener canister, a boot with gum fused to its sole, and a spool of thread on its last few inches. Mac wants back in the wardrobe; the others are angling for Paradise — a rumored place where thrown-away things get what they wished for. All five are stuck with each other.

The film plays as a road movie inside a trash bin. On the surface it is scrappy slapstick; underneath runs a quieter question about who decides what has value. Stream Tied Up (2025) on iFILM.
