Title : “Pink Polka Dot Cat”

Length:   2:30~3min
This short, humorous, stop-motion animation has a semi-surreal basis. The characters and also the story are both based on exaggerated gags which are simple but unusual. The goal is making an experimental, creative funny animation.
Characters:
Marshmallow- a real, medium sized, white marshmallow with wire feet attached to it
Grasshopper- a real, dead grasshopper

Story:
The two friends, Marshmallow and Walter are sitting on a couch in their living room watching TV. The scene is dark and the only light is the TV light. They are watching a show about a ‘pink polka-dot cat’ that lives far far away. They get super excited to see such a strange cat and suddenly decide to travel all the way to see it. They jump off the couch, grab their backpacks and step on the way. They pass different places in the world, deserts, seas, different countries, days and nights pass until finally they get there. They are standing right in front of their dreamy ‘pink polka dot cat’. Marshmallow gets closer to the cat. It`s a moment of silence. Then he touches the cat slowly. As he touches, both Marshmallow and Walter burst laughing so loud and long. They laugh and laugh with a repeating funny way while the cat is looking at them with a ‘poker face’. Then they stop laughing and get back to their normal serious face. Walter turns to Marshmallow and says: “ok, let`s go back home”
