The Cat Piano

The People's Republic of Animation, a fairly new studio down in Australia, are workin' on a lil' bit of beat-poetry goodness. No clips for now, but here's the title card and model sheet for "The Poet, a tortured romantic in a city of singing cats." Now, I ask ya...here's The Poet.



Here's a pic from a Leonard Cohen CD. Whaddya think, resemblance? Anyone? Or am I on the crack?



Either way, it prompted me to download a bunch of their clips and convert 'em to the Play-Yan, so's I can check 'em out on the bus home tanight. Meanwhile, go check out the production blog. As I said before, no footage yet, but some lovely design work.
