Very interesting. It felt like a throw back to the Waner Bros. looney tunes style. Especially in the layouts. I enjoyed seeing that classic gag type short again.
The ending was pretty much the same as that Bugs Bunny short when he raced the Tortoise and ending up paying the bet and a dollar went to about a hundred tortoises. I had no idea that Fat cat had created all of those films like Titan AE and Spirit. Their work is amazing.
Len Simon (founding partner of Fat Cat) worked for Don Bluth and then for the Bluth-led Fox Animation Studios in Phoenix on such films as Anastasia and Titan A.E. After Fox shut down their animation studio in Phoenix Len Simon gathered a remnant of the artists who had worked at Fox and started Fat Cat. The did sequences on films such as Spirit and Curious George , and shorter projects such as commercials.
They seem to be doing well, and it was nice to see this short piece they had done . I thought it was well done.
And yes, the ending is VERY reminiscent of the Bugs Bunny short you mention.
It's a shame I missed out on seeing this back when it was available. I just found out about this studio and what they were trying to do within the last few years of it's life. Love it if someone can help me with scoring some of their work in the future.
