Very nice! The animation is very fluid and energetic. I saw the Blender conference video about the creation of this film. Very impressive that this film was made in just a few weeks.
I first saw this as part of the blender conference talk. Awesome work!
I loved the style which was shared by the “experimental” shorts leading up to this one. The cartoony, exaggerated movements are beautiful. Here are the other shorts they made while trying EEVEE out.

I was fascinated by the rigs and the freedom they offer! I am in the process of learning to rig and animate myself but it seems most tutorials are for rather straightforward characters. I have no idea how you guys supported such extreme mouthshapes for example or made the features free to move around.
Could you elaborate a little on how those things work? If you can link to some resources that explain how to implement such features that would be awesome too. Right now I haven’t been able to find any.
This film has excellent sound design, creative choreography, good cinematography that doesn’t waste motion, and “a Tax Avery sense of humor.” (It’s hard to do absurdity well … but, you sure did it.)
I think that it worked extremely well to use “cartoon eyes” for the main character – and, generally, not so much the other ones – which makes him very expressive while also being (in my mind) a throw-back to traditional cartoon animation. “This is a cartoon.” The way that the characters moved, and the accompanying sound effects, were “straight Tex Avery,” and I mean this as a very high compliment.
I thought it worked very well to have somewhat-stylized characters acting in sets that were more realistically and lavishly rendered. Of course, it was also a great technical demonstration of Eevee’s speed and power.
