Petey and the Wolf

About This Movie

So, 'Petey and the Wolf' is this interesting short from CalArts that plays with animation in a pretty unique way. The tone feels whimsical yet a bit dark, capturing that blend that animation can do so well. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the visuals to breathe, which really enhances the overall atmosphere. The character design has a kind of quirky charm, and the way they animate the wolf gives it a menacing quality without going overboard. There’s something distinctive about how the story unfolds, a sort of playful take on the classic tale. Plus, I appreciate the practical effects woven into the animations, which adds a nice layer of depth. It's definitely something different to consider for any collector's shelf.
