"Cute and Dangerous" could be the title for this 22-minute (20 without credits) animated short film as well. "Cat **** One" (really IMDb? I have to censor the title here???) is from the year 2010, so already over 5 years old and it is the only filmmaking effort by Kazuya Sasahara, who otherwise works in video games. The name already tells you that this is a Japanese production, but don't worry, there is an English dubbed version out there too. The title is a bit misleading as not only there is no sequel and there may never be, even if Sasahara had the intention to make one, but this is also not about cats, but about bunnies. We follow two rabbits and witness how they take down an enemy stronghold full of camel terrorists. The action is sometimes bloody and graphic, so this is not for young audiences, generally more suited for adults as they will also understand the military slang way better. I personally felt it could have needed some better character development or just better writing in general or should have run for 15 minutes max only. But the animation is good enough to make up for the really generic story line. The only non-generic aspect here is that we watch rabbits and camels in the middle of it all. I recommend this little piece. Thumbs up.

With that premise and especially that ridiculous title, one would expect this to be some over-the-top satirical comedy, but in fact, it turns out to be a very serious war film. You can just replace the animals in this with humans, and you'll get yourself a typical Hollywood product. I guess the reason the creators chose to feature animals instead of humans was to make the film less violent and controversial so that viewers can suspend their political views and just see the film for what it is. And it works splendidly. With the fluffy rabbits in place of real soldiers, the film becomes much more memorable and interesting than it would normally have.I also appreciate that they try to give the main characters some connections and progress within the short runtime, though those are no more than cliché Hollywood stuff.The animation is good for an independent product. The character models are great with very smooth movement, and the explosion effects are OK. The only real problem I see is that sometimes the characters don't blend well with the backgrounds.In conclusion, this short is one surprisingly fun and solid film that action lovers should really see for themselves.

The director Kazuya Sasahara made a story of 'sniper' and 'spotter' in conjunction who need to rescue the hostages.The Character Packy(A.K.A 'Cat S*** One') is the 'shooter' and Botasky is the 'spotter'. Here they start their rescue mission and they soon spot a hostage being shot and now they ask for backup but it doesn't goes well. Now the complete rescue operation needed to be done single handedly by Packy and Botasky. Can they succeed in this operation? Then How?Here the most comical thing is that they have chosen bunnies as 'sniper' and 'spotter' and the terrorists are camels! To my astonishment. This is where some viewers may not get the real feel they need in this type of intense incidents. But the applaudable factor is the animation and visual effects are just amazing and enjoyable throughout and the action sequences are good. But the presence of human animated characters instead of animals would have been much better according to my view.The dialogues are okay and the story is fine filled with good fights. The slow motion sequences are really a treat to watch. But we may get laughs due to the camel faces in some scenes.Finally a good movie to watch. Enjoyable one.

Against what someone could expect, this animated CGI short, despite having a cast of adorable characters playing the main roles, it is not a kid's films, but it is neither a black comedy, being instead (For most part, at least) a serious action war film.While at first the cute appearance of the two main characters seem to be a distracting factor, the story of this short, despite being too simple it is interesting enough to make this worth-watching, being well told and surprisingly effective. Also, the good quality of the animation (With expressive and appealing designs) makes this a particularly enjoyable watch.Fortunately, here the juxtaposition of cutesy with serious or violent situations isn't something gratuitous or forced, serving merely as an stylistic choice, working very well in that aspect.
