Dogs and Cats

One of the films we watched today was "The Dog Who was a Cat Inside." It was a really cute story about acceptance. A dog was a cat inside and the two fought at first, until in the end he meets a cat who was a dog inside and everything was great. The reason I chose to blog on this one is I LOVE the different style of animation. It's 3D, but it's flattened. The colors are vibrant and I've read things where people said this style kind of looks like a moving postcard. It's true, it does. I've only seen this style of animation in one other film before: "Olive! The Other Reindeer" - a really adorable Christmas movie. I guess I never realized that "Olive" was really CG animation, but now it makes sense. I guess I like this style because it's so different, and it doesn't try to mimic real life. I think I also like it because somewhere in there I can kind of foresee getting my cows into this kind of format. :) I've wondered before how I might change them to 3 dimensional, but I really don't think their meant to be viewed in 3D - their meant to be viewed as flat. I really like the CG environment though. Overall, this was a really cute film!
