Schrödinger's "Tom & Jerry" but it's a moth instead.
Fun, cute, pretty 3D animation with 2D elements.

I felt like a kid watching Tom and Jerry again.
The animation, the score, the chaos… Chef’s kiss 🤌

In India Barnardo's seven-minute animated short film Cat and Moth, Ditto is a bit of a feisty cat who has found her favorite spot. She doesn't realize that someone else has their eye on the very same spot.
Cat and Moth is a low-budget, indie delight set to screen at this week's Academy Award-qualifying Indy Shorts International Film Festival in Indianapolis. Winner of Best Animation at the Vancouver Short Film Festival, Cat and Moth is a dialogue-free short film and definitely one of the most family and kid-friendly of the animated shorts at this year's Indy Shorts. While there's no dialogue to be found here, the story from Barnardo along with Amar Chundavadra and Martyn Smith is an absolute winner…

Me encantó la mezcla de estilos de animación que se usaron y el michi con la polilla son unas ternuras (a pesar de la "batalla" entre ellos). Al final termina siendo un viaje loquísimo que invita a querer saber más sobre el universo que plantean sus creadores.

Playfully animated in a variety of styles yet wasted on a simplistic premise that grows old halfway through.

This truly unlocked something within me. Seeing my two best friends, the cat and the moth, feud like this hurt me on such a deep level. But knowing they can potentially reconcile... well, that means everything.

I’m pretty sure this is a metaphor for petty conflicts within households. The color shift at the end represents an inevitably necessary compromise between parties. And then the zoom out, clearly implying that this experience is universal, and it always works out in the same way. This doesn’t really justify its rapid transitions between animation styles, but it looks great, and I’m sure kids will love it - which isn’t to say I didn’t, because I actually did; at least, more than I expected to. The score was nice and it’s short enough that I’d happily watch it again. Very cute and wholesome.

So unbelievably cute, charming, and fun. Great animated visual storytelling. Also, the animation is amazing, and due to its tale, it manages to blend so many different styles together which are all so great. Didn't exactly love the ending though, I felt like it was great with its simplicity, and decided to complicate that with a plot-twist mind-blown bigger picture thing. Wish they had kept it simple, it felt like it didn't really need to go there with this short. Otherwise, really loved it! Cozy.
