About This Movie

Decaf (2018) is a quirky little animated film that dives into the world of an energetic pup named Noodle and his rather lethargic kitten friend, MoeMoe. The premise is amusing – Noodle brews coffee for MoeMoe, which unexpectedly transforms her demeanor. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, veering into frenetic territory as caffeine begins to alter MoeMoe's behavior. The animation style is bright and playful, yet there’s this underlying tension as we watch MoeMoe's increase in aggression. The themes of dependency and how external substances can change personalities are woven throughout, making it a distinctive piece. It’s not just a light-hearted romp; there’s a darker undertone that lingers, which gives it some depth. The character designs are simple but effective, and watching the relationship dynamics shift is quite fascinating.
