Hotel E (Estonian: Hotell E) is a 1992 Estonian animated short film directed by Priit Pärn. It opens with two brief pantomime introductions to Estonian folktales, "The Legend of the Traitor" and "The Legend of the Redeemer," each drawn in an art style distinct from the rest of the film. The main story is almost entirely wordless and sets two worlds side by side. One is brightly colored and wealthy, populated by rotoscoped figures in flashy outfits who pursue expensive hobbies to classical music while a Looney Tunes-like cartoon called "American Dream" plays in the background. The other is a black-and-white room of darkness and flies, where crudely drawn, poor and dirty inhabitants sit around a table to the sound of dissonant music. The two realms stand for Western and Eastern Europe of the period.
