The Chore

About This Movie

The Chore, directed by Joe Murray, is this quirky 1989 animated short that plays with everyday absurdity. You got this harassed husband dealing with the simple task of putting the family cat outside, but of course, it spirals into something much funnier and more inventive. The animation style has a certain charm, feels hand-drawn with a warm, inviting color palette. It's not just about the laughs, though. The pacing is tight, never overstaying its welcome. The voice performances add a nice layer of humor and relatability. It’s this blend of the mundane and the ridiculous that makes it stand out—like a little slice of life that goes hilariously off the rails. Definitely worth a look if you're into unique animated shorts.
