    It actually took me a second viewing to really get this one. It’s a HUGE metaphor for the relationship 2D and 3D animation has nowadays. Well known 2D cartoons transitioning over to 3D, some being unable to and resulting in a massive flop, the wide range of 3D compared to very little 2D nowadays...it goes on. Notice how when he’s sucked up into the sky, it’s a film reel? Even in the little ways. Notice how much less expressive and lively his 3D counterpart is. Sure, he’s got smoother animation, but, well...it’s as they say, it’s in the eyes.
    It even starts with 2D...running out of material to stay alive.

      also there are countless of amazing 3D anime (I don't know any movies worth talking about, they're great but there's nothing in them that'd not be possible with 2D animation, many have done it in fact) with extremely expressive characters, Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni) had some of the best animation I've seem to this day with much more dynamic camera movement than any media I've seem as I can remember now, Beastars had the characters moving at all times with their whole body, something that a 2D version wouldn't be able to do because of how long it'd take, and everyone here is calling it soulless, because it is heavily processed, WHEN 2D ANIMATION HAS GOTTEN MORE AND MORE AS WELL, if you look at traditional animation compared to current through the same lens you use to compare 3D to 2D, current 2D animation is nearly completely processed as well

      @@Grimreaperedge If you really want to know what's going to happen, give the animation an ending you'd think would be the most viable. This can't be called a cliffhanger, as it's not a traditional story. It changed the moment the cat entered the hole, and even more when he came back to his conversation after being shot.
      Like someone before you commented, there are near infinite ways that could've gone. Maybe after the cat spoke to his 3D version, he woke up from a food coma after eating all of that food in the beginning?
      Or maybe he was still being held at gunpoint from earlier, going through another fictional scenario in his mind. You never know unless you come to your own conclusion.

      @@Grimreaperedge Huh...okay then. This is gonna be a long comment, but I'll try to explain as best I can...
      1) If you come to the same conclusion as someone else, that's not stealing. It just means you went through similar thought processes, or saw something that gave you a nudge towards that particular thinking.
      You can't get arrested for that unless someone went all the way to their government just to get their opinions copyrighted. It'd be interesting to watch them try, but frankly it'd make the person look silly.
      2) Even though I seemed adamant about this animation not being a cliffhanger, it's actually quite difficult to say for certain. Cliffhangers and Ambiguous Endings are very close to one another, and sometimes it's very hard to distinguish which one goes where.
      However, I can say that this animation is, in fact, a cliffhanger. Ambiguous Endings are merely a sub-category.
      Typically when TRUE cliffhangers occur, we know for a fact something terrible has happened to the main & or side characters, and there's definitely a follow-up to what's going on.
      Ex: The screen cuts to black, you hear a gunshot in the background, and you definitely know a sequel is coming out.
      In an Ambiguous Ending, we know the character is stuck in a perilous predicament, and the story ends, but without giving any leeway to either sides of the situation in question.
      This causes a shift in perspective, and causes the audience to focus on the characters themselves. The Cat apologized to his counterpart, but the gun was still pointed at him as the screen cut out.
      Would the counterpart forgive his 2D version? Did the 2D version deserve forgiveness for what he'd done? This is what the questions change to.
      That's why I can say with certainty that I believe this animation to be rightfully classified as an Ambiguous Ending. Still though...I honestly don't have any response to your dislike towards cliffhangers.
      Only thing I can suggest is that you take a different look at things, like I did.

  • @Name-uo3wo
    @Name-uo3wo 3 роки тому +98

    My outlook on this video:
    The video starts as your everyday 2D animation about a cat going through it's daily life until it discovers a tunnel behind it's cat food. After the cat finds 3D Cat's food and makes a run for it the 3D Cat holds 2D Cat at gunpoint. It's here that we see 3D Cat and more "clones" (that's a surprise tool that will help us later) of 3D Cat. 2D Cat begs 3D Cat to not kill him, but 3D Cat doesn't care. After seeing people laugh at 2D Cat's life ending, we cut to 2D Cat being transformed into another 3D Cat "clone". Then we see the 2D Cat's soul get absorbed into a film reel. The soul we see leaving 2D Cat was his originality, his emotions, what made him special was killed off to be forgotten. Now about the 3D Cat clones, those are other 2D shows that have been killed by 3D Cat (I think 3D Cat is supposed to be an audience or certain demographic. People want 3D animations, not 2D cartoons. But by getting rid of 2D cartoons we get rid of what made them special. The other 3D Clones are also completely identical, they are all bland, boring, unoriginal. And then when 2D Cat finds the words to explain why he wants 3D Cat to spare his life he says how he "read the ingredients and no longer finds them appealing". I take this to mean that after seeing what other 3D shows are like, he finally gets it that he shouldn't become like 3D Cat. Even taking a closer look at the ingredients we see things like Crowd-Pleasing Ending, Marketability, Comedy, Standart Conflict, and at the very top, Meaning 0%. You see, this means that most 3D shows are predictable in the same ways, but just by taking a look at the contents of a 3D show you can see just how similar they are. Don't forget about the 2D shows, as they are way more original than most 3D animations today.

    3:34 he is finally gonna say these things: the thoughts, the emotions, the opinions, all unspoken. Put to paper only between the lines of his own script and notes. All words for him to say, but never actually spoken until now. That's how he imagines it, however, he ends up taking a moment, processes his raw emotion and abstract thoughts, and respectfully paraphrases what he believes his motives are instead.
    Context: Jono had very rough highschool years, and never wanted to go to college in the first place. However, due to social pressures, he ended up having to go anyways. He ended up having a bad time as well, learning nothing and actually regressing on some of his previous natural skills, all the while remaining completely silent on these issues. For him formally learning art ruined the creative aspect for him, and he was afraid animation would follow suit. After being pressured to enter into the relm of 3d animation (something he greatly disliked), his creative aspect was still in jeopardy. For him, as his creative aspect slowly crumpled away in college, 3d animation was threatening to fulling murder it, alongside most peoples 2d animated careers. Thus, this short was vent art. A metaphor for his experiences. the short ends on a cliffhanger, for his story leaves off at the same point the cat's does, and the future remains uncertain

    Thank you, so much.

    I think this is about the style of animation you find on youtube nowadays. Where 3D Animations are more popular than 2D, flash, all those animation programs. Where the can is heavily processed he means heavily processed by cg, vfx, music. Where he says his kind is more rare to find and their kind is more generic he means that in trends. Where Disney used to make charming 2D films, taken away by CG, 3D, Simulated movies like Wreck It Ralph, Frozen, that could’ve maybe just maybe been more... charmful in it’s animation style. Instead of hair, ragdoll, physics all made by a cold dead robot performing it’s tasks. Where flash ruled the land, and now it’s shutting down. Where we have advanced in tech and entertainment we lost in personality and style. But hey, I’m a stranger on the internet; forge your own opinions and theories.

    Writing this after watching the other video for added context.
    I get being made uncomfortable by the ending sequence you went with. There are definitely some elements that are straight out of horror there. It's got a very disturbing tone through most of it. However, that disturbing element perfectly sets up the voiced lines that end everything off. By itself, 2D Cat's line would have just been a confusing anti-joke moment. With the context of everything else that happened in your ending - especially 2D Cat seeing an audience of 3D clones laughing at the original ending before being turned into just another 3D Cat himself - the message really shines through, and transforms the line into a really powerful message. Besides...sometimes art _should_ make you a little uncomfortable.

    • @Nick_works

      I think (and this is just a theory) one of the reasons why one would get uncomfortable and 'report' this is because it's a call-out to the education system he had to go through. This is a critique of 3d animation and how it is used to tell bland stories. It's also a subversion of this particular cartoony style of 2d animation, as it actually is a surreal horror. It's not even extremely standard horror, although it is there.
      This isn't an animation, this is an art piece. It's a conversation. And I think some people aren't comfortable with animation beings that deep of a piece of narrative.

    I really like this animation. About half way through I thought of clicking off and going to find another video to watch instead because I didn't like the emotion I was getting from it. But sticking around paid off. The ending really spoke to me personally, and I really enjoyed seeing something new, something that made me think, something that made me feel certain ways. After watching your video about the response you got from it this animation just became better. It honestly feels in a way you already knew how everyone would respond, present at the very end. It's nice to see people doing what they want despite what others tell them to, going against what's "popular" and "the right way to do it" because what you do just makes you happier. When I tried to add more realism into my art style I got a lot more praise, but every piece I made felt fake and I didn't like how I felt when creating it. I was much more happy when I switched back to a cartoony style with a huge focus on shapes and stuff. But after I switched to the style I liked a lot of people began critiquing me on how weird it looked, how anatomy doesn't work like that, how humans aren't made up of shapes. It's what makes me happy. I do like sharing my art, I do like getting praised for it. But it's what makes me happy. Do what makes you happy. Like what makes you happy.

    This animation isnt simple it actually has a point when the 2d cat talked about his and the other cat's canned food and said that his kind isnt very common as before he was trying to say that people nowadays rely more on 3d projects and they leave 2d programs to rot also the part with the 2d cat being shot is probably the old 2d animations getting forgotten

    My take on this absolute masterpiece- Our cat protagonist represents older media creators who stick to their craft. The tunnel is a sort of Segway into the new media, in a search for more content The electric chair represents the creator being forced to change because this newer media, such as the “Can’t Food”’s ingredients and character, as it is more popular. The gun represents the new industry or supporters of the industry trying to kill them. The talk at the end represents the old industries kinder rebuttal.

      Bad Triceratops That’s a pretty good theory. But it’s not true. All of this was to make a point about how 2D animations were being overthrown by 3D animations, that’s what the ingredients part at the end was about.
