Judas, Catholic Squirrel

About This Movie

So, there's this short film called Judas, Catholic Squirrel from 2011. It's an animation that just kinda piques your interest right away. The story follows Judas, this little squirrel grappling with his identity and purpose, which gives it a surprisingly introspective vibe for such a short run time. The pacing is tight, but it manages to convey a lot of existential themes without feeling rushed. The animation style has a quirky charm, which fits perfectly with the tone. You can almost feel the whimsical atmosphere, but there's a deeper undercurrent exploring faith and belonging. The whole piece was made for Stripburger magazine’s 18th anniversary, and it’s definitely distinctive in its approach—something you don’t see every day.
