****
This was my graduation film from Calarts in 2018. I've been picking away at it here and there since, but it's been a year since it was originally supposed to be posted, so here it is!
Huge shout out to my amazing and hardworking composer Karen Tanaka & sound designer Paul Michael Cardon, and thank you to all my friends who supported me along the way!
I allowed myself to be as indulgent as possible with this film, and struggled a lot but had a lot of fun, and I still care very much about these characters & their world. Please enjoy!!
This deserves to be a movie
W-wait ... *_an actual happy ending?_* What a rarity! I almost expected the fox to turn out even more darkly deceptive than the owl. It's probably no coincidence that he, part of a non-prey species known for its cunning, was able to figure out that predation was afoot. Well done! The presentation didn't even need to go beyond animatics. It could be interesting to see this world expanded. It feels like Ernest and Celestine, Mouse Guard and maybe Scurry.
This was amazingly well done and it's a damn shame this didn't blow up in the algorithm yet. Something like this deserves to have as many views as humanly possible.
I just got this recomended to me ...so maybe :D. By the looks of it have been getting it recomended to them,some of the comments are recent :3
YET!
I remember watching this a while back. It is certainly a shame that it hasn't gotten over 100k since then. such a work of art.
Hello from the Algorithm. We have arrived. o.o
This deserves more love
Heck ... It deserves a whole series!
EW WTF UR A FURRY 🤢🤮
Ikr it deserves an Oscar!
No it deserves a damn Pixar movie
Yes
I know it’s been said, BUT this could be adapted into a mini film or even full series with the right resources. Not because of the art or the story (which are both still good), but because the characters (especially the duo) are really great! They make this otherwise great short excellent!
yesss imagine this but in the style of an ace attourney or professor layton game. it would be so quaint and charming
Clever Fox 🦊 Sneaky Mouse 🐭 The perfect duo! 🤝
this deserves a show
or a movie
In just a few minutes, fell in love with the characters, and the dynamic of the 2 main characters. Aaand the cute expressive drawing style. Aaaaand the fluid animation.
Conclusion I love every bit of this!
It's been 3 years and it's still is my most favourite short film even seen.
I also graduated animation uni in my country and it drained me and I had to take a break from arts generally to recover. Rhea Dadoo whenever you are, I wish you the best of luck and best on your journey, I know industry is hard to navigate and it could be drowning at times but you got such an enourmous potential, you are a natural at storytelling so keep it up. I have no doubt you'll reach hights in your journey, no matter if the road will be long or bumpy.
OH MY GOSH THIS IS AMAZING!!! It feels like I just watched a full movie! stunning! :0
I would watch a tv show based on this so hard.
words cant describe how amazing this film is
0:59 "I'm really good at being sneaky, and squeezing into tight spaces!"
The Box Assassin: (Nervous sweating) "I know what I just saw ..."
I usually don’t like mysteries, but this I LOVE this is astronomically cute, and I’d honestly love to see it as a full blown feature film with this style. Everything about this is heartwarming and I’m praying that the algorithm picks it up.
I actually got invested as if it was a real show, well done indeed!
it's genuinely astounding to me that this was posted in may of 2019 and yet, has received so little recognition. Everything about this felt so fantastic and well put-tgether for me, especially only in the span of six minutes. You managed to pace this super well. I'm so impressed.. On top of that, your art style is so gorgeous, and the characters so charmingly designed. Fantastic. Probably one of my favorites I've seen.. AGHH.
I must say I’m happy to have discovered this gem of a story and animation, although short it was wonderful to watch its a shame there isn’t more like this.
This would be great for a a series!
If this was a series I’d binge watch it in a day
They should make this into a full animated film. There’s plenty of potential here with the characters and world building, and with the right script they could extend this to a good 90 minute film.
This is way too underrated! I got invested and felt for the characters in like 2 seconds and that is so rare for me :) Feels kind of like the not afraid to be dark book adaptation movies from the 2000's, Guardians of ga'hoole type maybe? It felt like an entire movie in one little delicious bite, keep doing what you're doing :)
I would love to see this be turned into a full-length movie as I haven't seen an anthropomorphic fox character that I like so much since Nick Wilde in 2016's Zootopia movie.
The composition of your storyboarding is to die for!!!
WHAT!?!? IS TH-cam blind!? This deserves at least 35643 million veiws!!
I love this!! Its so good! You are very good at storyboarding everything works so well
Wow, how is this not a hit already
This deserves to be a movie!
I don't know why the algorithm is only now showing me this. I love it!
That was fantastic!! This reminds me of The great mouse detective! Congratulations for this animation, it's amazing!! And I loved all the voices, specially protagonist and antagonist's ones. It fits them perfectly!!
This can be an amazing movie omg it got me waiting more 😍
this is awesome! it feels like a mini movie and I love that sm
I want a show of this so badlyyyyyyy!
everything in this short is a masterpiece !! I don't know why it didn't get the recognition it deserves :(
I'm an absolute sucker for detective stories! Please sir, may I have some more...
MY STARS, THIS IS SO CHARMING AND CREATIVE, I loved the characters
The storytelling in this is incredible, there wasn't a single moment where i felt less invested in what was going on, i am astounded that this doesn't have more views, the animation is so fluid and each character is so unique, this 100% deserves more love
This is amazing! I can’t believe this gem has been hiding here for three years now. More people need to see this!
this is so freaking RAD, its like the spiritual successor to Great Mouse Detective i've always wanted
i'm not going to lie. i have watched this so many times i have the video and voice acting stuck in my head. you've done a terrific job on this and have earned a new subscriber!
I get Zootopia and Hundred Acre Woods vibes, this is so good. My first time watching, too! 😭
Honestly, this is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
loved thisss, cinematography was excellent, and it deserves to be a show!! great work!!
I love this, I wish it was a series
Это просто невероятно! почему так мало аудиотории? Этот шедевр заслуживает большего
This brought back sweet memories of the baron from the cat returns. I would actually die if this became a movie or a series. You're doing amazing love
God Damn dude, this was so well done. The shots and character designs are delightful. The effort that went into this is palpable, great work.
Giving me big Ernest and Celestine vibes and I absolutely love it!
Ohhh bro! Honestly this feels really in touch with that greater narrative archetype storytelling that I love so much. It's simple, it's cute, and I hope you get to do more stuff like this.
This is amazing! The voice acting is phenomenal the story is short but so nice and the characters are fantastic i just want to see more of them! And the animation! It's so beautiful the facial expresions are so full of emotion it's so fluid and well made. It's absolutly beautiful. Man after watching that i wish that would be a whole series becouse this is so fun and creative!
Aawwwaaa this is so adorable !! And the animation is incredibly smooth !!
Wow, esto es....... Wow! Me encantó; esto merece mas apoyo, llegué 3 años tarde... pero te digo que tienes mucho potencial, sigue así, haces un trabajo increíble! ^^
it's like i watched a whole movie in 5 minutes :o great minimalistic storytelling.
I do wonder tho, what will happen to the town now that they have lost their protector?
this short film is wonderfoul!
Wonderful! Short and simple but very well done!
oh, this is fantastic! the animation and art style is so charming, the voice work is great, and the ending is so cute!
Absolutely gorgeous work. I just adore when scenes like 4:02 happen, when the villain enters everything stops and that music kicks in. Fantastic music, fantastic voice acting, and fantastic visuals. ♥️
this is perfect idea for a series or movie
the characters, the plot, the shots, all of this was so beautifully done!! this film is so unique and unforgettable :)
OMG THIS IS AWESOME!! I love the story! I love the characters I love the combo of hard boiled detective novel and children's picture book! I just have one question. . . What does Merryweather eat?
I assume he eats fruits, pastries and maybe some fish
literally an absolute masterpeice -- an amazing story!
This have to be filmed in a movie 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is a REALLY great piece of work! Well Done...💯
would watch this as an hour long film
this is quite well done, and in fact could spark a nice series :3 i hope you continue the story, you have pretty good characters and dynamics here and the storytelling is fast, exciting and right to the point conveying a ton with so little
I haven’t finished but her jumping around the table explaining she’s good at squeezing into tight spaces REALLY reminds me of a movie with like a bear and a mouse .. the orphan mice.. collect teeth …. Mouse wants to live with the bear(?)… I don’t remember…. It’s name..
This was amazing, the characters were great and I loved every second
Definitely one of my favorite short films
that s cool animation! Good work! Keep the t up! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
We need more!!!
I WANT MORE OF THIS THIS!!!! IS LIKE A NETFIX SERIES!!!
Jakie złoto 🤩 kultura byłaby znacznie wzbogacona, gdyby powstał cały film albo serial o przygodach tych bohaterów, rysowanych tym stylem. Jest to coś wspaniałego ❤️
This is the first short film that made me cry tears of happiness at the end :D
I’d kill to see a movie like this…
It's stuff like this that make me wish Zootopia had gotten that TV series it deserves.
Bro this is seriously underrated
Nice one! Thank you for sharing
Series potential!
This dersves a whole series or book!!
its subtle but i love the small bits that we get about the world in your film the worldbuilding in your short would make a great series of it
If this was a full movie.. I honestly would watch it for YEARSSSS! A name for it could be "The mysteries of the missing people.." Or keep the original!
Great voice acting, great story, and lovely characters
Daang!! I love the whole concept, art and flow of the story this definitely deserve more views
I love this its such a sweet story, with amazing characters and voice acting, as well as splendid art. I would love if their was a tv show or book series with these characters.

"Behind a palace of gold hides a starving village."
Goddd i love this animation
imagine how much better would it be with color/ more rendered.
I know this was four years ago but are you going to do more, I'm very impressed by your work and I think you have a great talent as both an animator and a storyteller.
I hope you get big one day.
