Overturned Bouquet, featuring the voice of Shorty the Cat, based on the painting by Abraham Mignon

- I've got a special treat for you today as I bring you the power of the internet. A while back, I got an email from Agata, a student in Poland who was completing her master's degree final animation and asked if she could sample Shorty's "voice" to voice the cat in her film. She explains:
"The animation is based on a real-life painting by Abraham Mignon. I'm sure he had a vendetta against a cat that destroyed his still-life setup, so I'm basically exploring the events that might have led up to the creation of the 'Overturned Bouquet.'" (Here's a link to the painting www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collect...)
So of course I said yes. After presenting her work and graduating, she sent me the video saying, "and here is my project, starring Shorty, who really elevated it with her beautiful voice. All my professors said so and agreed that she stole the show."
She gave me permission to upload the short film and here it is in its entirety. It's not the usual fare you've seen here on this channel, but the pacing and tonal changes are just so perfect and delightful, and hearing Shorty's little prrbbtts and loud snores and manic meows is super cute and funny. I also love Agata's idea, kind of like Sunday In the Park With George, exploring the story behind the creation of the painting. I'm not sure if it's of much interest to you, but my paid subscribers loved it, so I decided to release it publicly.
If anything, you'll probably relate to the theme of how innocently a cat can create havoc for us, and how timeless this has been.

Have a good one, everyone! Peace and purrs out,

Thank you for the back story 😂😆 You may want to pin your comment❤
❤❤❤
Love the video where Shorty is the star. You should a video as well!
Thank you again for this opportunity
so fab👌😍
Telling a cat "NO!" only to watch their eyes dilate and then they do that hug the floor spaz moment before blazing off on their course of destruction is the realist thing I've seen all week.
Plus the ass licking part 😂
Also, that ever so surprised "Gravity exists?!" look they get when they push something off.
And then just cleaning themselves after the mess has been made.
@@Lydster05 lol! All very accurate descriptions. The washing after making a mess got me! Part denying they had anything to do with it, part making sure they are still the prettiest thing in the room. And, oh look! Someone needs to clean this mess! Not me!
Next time my Cat gets his Zoomies I'll hear Wagners Walkyrie😂
ohh, that's just delightful! proof that even before the Internet, cats have been living reminders of the chaos in the universe!
❤ I love it! Short’s 3 pack a day voice is unmistakable…brava girl, brava! ❤
That is so stinkin' adorable and hilarious. Poor kitty wanted to make his human feel better after the oops.
Absolutely brilliant. Now Shorty has another talent to add to her repertoire!
💕🐈⬛💕
Shorty's voice acting debut is perfection!
You mean "puuuurrrrfection" 😸
You mean ""puuuurrrrfection!" 😸
@@Echo81Rumple83 I think there's an echo in here
Beautifully drawn, love the colors! Hopefully Shorty gets a percentage of the profits in snacks, nip and many, many boxes ❤
Being a friend of an artist, I got it from the start. I kept thinking about the poor artist but the cut cat just doing cat things, like the zoomies. I knew what was coming when the cat entered the room. I think the whole thing was wonderfully captured. And congrats to Shorty for her starring role!
It reminds me when Shorty was little, I was painting the blue wall and stepped away for a minute. Came back and she had stepped on the lid of the paint can and there were blue paw prints everyhwere! Lol, I wish I had taken a photo.
@@shortyandkodi Cute. But you were probably more worried about her licking it!
Exactly, I had to clean her right away, and then had to clean up the paw prints before they dried, haha.
LOVED THIS!!! Especially the artistic perspectives!! The student will do very well!❤❤❤❤
This is wonderful! Shorty's vocal performance is fantastic! Wow!!! 💜💜💜🐾🐈⬛👑
Adorable, Agata! I literally LOLed at the slo-mo rear view of the cat leaping toward the inevitable collision. And great job on the vocals, Shorty! Thanks to everyone involved in the creation and sharing of this piece of art!
Haha, I was drawing the inspiration from my own two cats, but sadly they are a bit microphone-shy when it came to voice-acting. Thankfully, Shorty was there to save the day!
😻😻😻
Oscar worthy voice acting by Her Shortness
Took the words right out of my mouth…
Very good and so well done. Shorty would be proud.
At first I didn't get it but it turned out to be a cute short film n of course Shorty's vocal noises are superb!!
Yes, you definitely have to "wait for it" and then the pay off is so great.
Your storytelling and editing are always 🐾 🐾 paw-less--- as usual!!
It IS a treat! The animation is gorgeous. I find the artist's style unique, unusual, and beautiful (Agata's style that is, not Abraham Mignon's). It is quite amazing recognizing Sho's voice! What a riot! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you
@@agaiths1221 You are so welcome. I am flattered that the wonderful artist who created this beautifully animated world (and shrewdly enrolled the participation of one of UA-cam's stars, Queen Sho) is thanking me for a compliment that is so well deserved. I do hope your talents get you what you wish out of a career and your life. I do believe that your talents need to be admired, recognized, and rewarded.
That’s positively delightful Rob! How cool! Love the animation and storyline, and of course the unmistakable vocal stylings of the beloved Shorty. Glad you were able to share this 🤗💖
wow I was surprised to see Polish and did a double take. This is really beautiful and hilarious! lol
Wow Shorty is taking her fame to a new level! I love her voice, she reminds me of my cat, Phoebe, who passed in 2019. Same long, back fur and same trilling. 😊
Amazing artwork on this! The cartoonist and the voice overs were spot on! Loved the vibe, especially at the start
"I'm pushing off the peonies, neow." A delightful film! And Shorty's international voice-acting debut as "Kot." Who's her plus-one for the red carpet?
Verily, 'twill surely stir astonishment that I, thy humble Queen, shall be accompanied by the Simpleton, for his visage, marked with mottled hues, shall enhance mine own beauty exceedingly whilst we dost traverse the red carpet.
@@shortyandkodi🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Absolutely wonderful! As if this wasn't the best start to my day as-is, while I'm watching and the Wagner music starts, here comes one of my cats thundering around the room, chasing a toilet-roll core that she's purloined from somewhere! I'm out of breath from laughing! Great job, everybody!!
Thank you so much for sharing this animation. The artwork is just stunning. The artist was so clever to think of using Shorty’s voice. Without Shorty it would still be visually wonderful, but Shorty gives the animation real personality and life.
I nearly died from *snort-laughing* when kitty stopped for an impromptu bath, giving us the “turkey leg” pose-complete with smacking noises- after relocating the flowers.💀😂💀
(Was that Shorty’s audio too?🤔)
Kudos to the artist! Well done!🏆🥇🏆 🥇Obviously she has excellent taste and recognized a 5-star cat with a 3-pack a day voice and *knew* Shorty was purrrfect for the role.💯
Congrats to Shorty on her international debut!
Can’t wait to see what her and Kodi wear to the aCATemy awards!
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing it, and I hope Agata knows how much we love it. What a great story concept (humans and cats have been like this a long time huh?) and striking aesthetic (almost dreamlike).
Mignon painted one freaky-looking cat, but I figure he didn't have the time to study its face as painstakingly as those flowers.😸
Thank you so much! I'm happy I nailed that dream-like look! I'm so glad you liked my work :D
Actually Abraham Mignon had plenty of other paintings featuring animals (although already hunted and static) but he was clearly capable of painting a regular animal face.
It had to be a grudge but who can stay mad at a cute cat for long, really?
Rob, it’s marvelous! The piece reminds me of the 50’s-early 60’s Disney “pet” fantasys like ‘Thr Aristocats,’ ‘Lady and the Tramp’, and ‘101 Dalmatians.” But it’s absolutely her work and its own piece! She has great skill, talent, and obviously a passion for her project! Sho’s voice in that 18th century cat sounded absolutely natural-to the point I expected a “Mrrp!” at the very end.
Bravo to the three of you! Thanks - hugely - for sharing. 🌷🌺❤️🌸🌹💐🌻🌼
This video reminds me of the old Dire Straits pixelated Money Is For Nothing music video.😉👍💕
This it utterly delightful! Kudos to Agata for making such a funny animation that totally does Shorty justice.
This should win an Oscar for Best Short Film ❤❤❤ The whole thing is purrrfect, and I enjoyed hearing Her Majesty's signature sounds 🖤
That was definitely interesting - what a great little animated video! And with bits of Shorty's voice, to boot!
Shorty's a star! I really like the color palate of this.
Bravo! That was great! I hope she got an A+++ for that!
oh, that's wonderful. what a great anime from Agata. Thanks for sharing. And I had to laugh straight away because Shorty's snoring is unique. Only queens snore like that.
I agree, haha. Agata had asked to use Shorty's vocals and I had assumed she meant just her little trills, so when I heard the snore I laughed out loud.
@@shortyandkodi You can do a lot with Shorty's "vocals". She is really very, very special ;-)
The South African musician The Kiffness does, for example. great songs with cat sounds and is on tour worldwide with them. In Germany, a concert near me was sold out, otherwise I would have been there. I look forward to every new Shorty and Kodi video as I can no longer keep cats at home due to allergies.
Thanks, yes for a long time I've wanted to do more stuff exactly like what Kiffness is doing, but he's definitely doing it a thousand times better than I could. I have asked a very talented musician I know (who did the vocals for my Oh Christmas Tree song) if he could do something like that and he said he could... if he had the time. That was 2 years ago, lol.
She has so many unique vocal performances! Ever since I started conceptualizing an animation with a cat, I knew I needed a pro, true to her word and statement whether sleeping or awake. Shorty was the only and best choice and I'm so glad I could work with her voice!
@@agaiths1221 Dear Agata, I think your short film is simply great. I watched it several times yesterday and paid attention to details. The cuts of the artist/cat perspectives with the abrupt music changes is fantastic. I also like the coloring. And by the way, I rediscovered an artist whose works I had already seen in Amsterdam and Dresden. Thanks for your great film!
I never thought of Flight of the Valkyries as being a perfect song to play when cats are up to mischief, but here we are!
Captured the drama of the Queen for sure! Love that she's branched out into voice acting.
Well done Agata! 👏 I like how the kitty tried to comfort him.
Delightful! And congrats to Shorty for the voice acting!
Such a beautiful little film! Her Majesty's vocalizations are the cherry on top of the cake. 🥰😻😆
An excellent use of Shorty's vocals
so cool & beautifully done !!
😎😎🤗
can recognize those sounds any where! such a treat to have them included in the cartoon.
The queen always a way to present herself!
Agata, Lukasz, and Shorty are a great team. I loved this. Thank you for sharing this.
Now this is different and I like it ❤️♥️🥰😻😘
Amazing…better than much of the content I stream…award-worthy…
Agreed, this is high art. I could see the Rijks museum playing this on a loop next to the original painting! Ok, I'm biased, but my Shoshobeans is worthy of it, lol
Absolutely brilliant! Bravo, Agata & Shorty! ♥
Very nice! Well done, Agata!
Thank you
Thank you. I love you both.
Beautiful little film. The cat's facial expressions were particularly good when she first got the zoomies. My headcanon is that the cat's name is Filet. Good work, Agata and Shorty!
Can't say I ever expected to see a crossover between my former university and one of my favourite YT channels! Very cool!
Fun fact: the surname of the person who voiced the painter means "cat"!
I noticed that. Lovely credits too.
Oooh! As a painter, once your still life is blown up you’re screwed.
Loved it.
Oh, this is delightful!
Queen Shorty played her part well, but she is far more beautiful than the character she played the voice-over for.
This is wonderful! Shorty is the Kot 😽
The Queen's international stardom continues to grow as her fans appreciate her many talents ❤🥰🐈⬛
and the oscar goes to ........ shorty!
have to watch it one or two times a day :)
Absolutely brilliant!!!
I'd like to believe that the cat jumped on the shader fader beforehand.
壁に掛けられた猫の絵も可愛い❤
What a wonderful animation. I watched all the way to the end - and read the credits. Congratulation on your voice acting debut, Shorty!
That music with Shorty’s manic meows made me laugh a little too hard. This is great.
Voice acting: Shorty z from ShoKo Show! She is a celebrity! But we all knew she would be someday, didn't we?
Wasn’t she already famous?
This is awesome 💐👍🏻
What an original concept! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Piękny
Adorable !
It was really good, even my cat watched it!!! Congratulations Shorty on your debut.
For me, it could have been a lot worse the cat could have destroyed the painting but it was just a vase knocked over the flowers and the vase didn't even break
Haha, I tried to do some more destruction in the scene and water spilling but could not get it to render properly... Abraham got lucky because Maya did not cooperate XDD
@@agaiths1221 he is also very lucky that Maya didn't break the vase or destroy the painting
What a beautiful idea and present for Shorty
Shorty: International Superstar. 😸🐱🏍🥰
This is utterly gorgeous and gave me a good chuckle. ❤
This was great! So imaginative and creative!!!
This is charming. Shorty is a star!
That was good
I love it!
The painting is beautiful. The artist was obviously a still life master. Not so good with cats.
The kitty voice artist was delightful. I hope The Supreme Pangalactic Empress Shoshobeans gets more work.
Very cute!!! Bravo!
Thanks, Gail, I think so too.
I love it! xD
Wow! Good for you, man!
😊❤
I suspect Shortstuff's past history of smoking helped her get the deep voice, but I am still glad she quit.
Bravo! Is there nothing Her Majesty can't do?
I love it ❤
Shorty has a new career in voice acting
Viva La Fluffy Devil! 🐈⬛💐❇️🙌🎹
This is great.
C’est manifique!
There is no mistaking that sound hahahahahha
❤❤❤
Beautiful Bravo's
Shorty is such an icon
cute :)
Hopefully the real Shorty 😻JS Bach as well.
1:40 -- Zoomies Alert!!! Love the cat in this, and Queen Shorty is the star in the voice-over!
No animals were harmed in the making of this. A lot of drugs might have been done though.
Completely unexpected content. I liked it, although the muted colours and styling make it a little creepy.
*Side question: does anyone know who the human face on the cat in the painting is? (Or supposed to be?) I know there’s a backstory there, but damned if I can recall it now.🤦♀️
Based on the work of an artist from the country Flem.
