[@wetgymsocks8739]

hey tome

[@blindonabudget6953]

Hey what's your PFP from? It looks super familiar

[@miajajajajajajajajajo]

​@@blindonabudget6953Kurata Tome from Mob Psycho 100, great anime, the manga is also great but people turn it down cuz of the visuals

[@hopper__]

was so relieved when sir Mouse helped our little Rat; it would hurt me greatly to see _everyone_ acting mean towards him. so glad he got his good ending he deserved
wonderful style, great animation!

[@sslizard]

The squiggly outline of the rat/snails underwater was so unexpected and so delightful

[@lavendergirl9018]

I agree!

i love that the mouse took a rat language class

[@walnut_raisin2621]

Dog in the beginning really be giving off serial killer vibes huh

[@krislibanu6197]

i really liked how the little mouse understood that the bar wasn´t a place he belonged

[@speedymclame5974]

1:20 the little rat dance is so cute i’m dying 😭

[@dinosaurclub]

I know its CalArts, and everyone's going to be talking your ear off about the look (and I like it, its cutsey and stylized), but where you're head and shoulders above pretty much everyone else is story and sadly that's one of the areas CalArt shorts seem to usually neglect. But you didn't--. So honestly, well done. It's simple but really strong where it counts.

[@AcamInc]

That bar scene was great! The way the bar tender looked at him, felt like a stranger in a western.

[@faeriebard]

AHHH i love film season. this is absolutely delightful, your art style combined with the sound and environments of this short make it feel much like an older version of a picture book! the color palettes, the music, the characters... it all feels very sweet and this is an absolutely delightful short film. i'm definitely excited to see where you take your artwork from here!

[@Papercatts]

The art and story are so fun and cute! Extremely well done!

[@sydneya1110]

Oh my goddd, so happy he made it home to see the other rats. That muffin looks so good

[@Chez09s]

That was one of the best 3 minutes and 36 seconds i've ever watched 🧀💫🌙

[@sgrim_artz]

This is adorable, the sheep look terrifying its amazing lol

[@napustangwattanakarn4535]

Soo charming. The way the rat smile near the end is just so heartwarming. What a precious film

[@lazyboxart]

My pet rat died today, and I came back to this video because it reminded me of him. I'm in the process of making a memorial animation for him. His brothers and me are going to miss him. I've also always wanted to go to calarts so this video is very neat for a bunch of different reasons

[@Desu_Freak]

I adore the art style and everything about this film.

[@sadisticmaxwell]

the art direction for this film is incredible ! it reminds me of a child like story book in the best way ! favorite film I have seen regarding calarts for this year :D there is so much heart in this :)

[@Takoji]

I’ve watched this 3 times in a row! I love the character designs, the music, and the little rat protagonist. So glad he got a happy ending.
I also loved the little angry duck sequence.
Fantastic work!

[@audreysami5205]

This whole short is amazing from the sound to the animation, it’s so simplistically perfect I love it

[@breadybeans5427]

i keep finding calarts films about "rat" and this is my 4th one ive seen, also great job on the animation :)

[@MoKuZai]

[@spikyears]

so cool !!!! glad to see israelis doing so many great stuff 🥺

[@brettsalter3300]

Such is a little rats life, so short, but fully lived!!

[@thereallittlefiend]

Is the secret mouse bar considered a squeak-easy?

[@explosivebeans3770]

Sweet lil’ rat

[@NightFangClash]

If this was how it mice and rats lived in real life, I would love to shrink down in size for a while, so I could see it for myself. I'm not afraid of mice and rats, so I wouldn't mind it at all.

[@TravisGeorge000]

I love seeing the new CalArts animations every spring! Thanks for sharing your video :D

[@Alexander-ob9nv]

This would make such a good intermission series on some tv network

[@PJB-ks9vn]

The dog reminds me of Sid Phillips from Toy Story.

[@safabekr]

Can we circle back on that dog child, why is he so evil!!

[@curse7469]

I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO GET HIS COMEUPPANCE SOMEONE MESS HIM UP

[@quirkimi]

this story is so captivating all the way to the silly details like the chipmunk with the tooth! well done 👏

[@skeletin5125]

Rat's a better diver than me 💀

[@joel-uw2lg]

Damn this is not how exspirements or rats work

[@ronabelibe]

Mouse and Rat big friends!

[@crystal_1547]

calart 2023 films are so good but this one gotta be my favourite

[@NightFangClash]

I don't blame the rat for running away like that. If I was going to be killed by some cruel and sadistic child, I would do the same thing and get out of there right away!

[@inneedofcheesypizzas2162]

I love the sketchy feel of this!

[@rbfloat]

Yes, he found his rat brethren!

[@StudioTracy]
