Loved the colours, lovely soft animation, drawings, and sound. Super cute story. I can tell you would have had to go hard all weekend to get this animated on time, well done

Absolutely stunning film and such a unique visual aesthetic that really helps the film hold its own amongst a stacked animation line up. My one bit of feedback would be don’t be afraid to utilise sound more as it would add an even more immersive element to the world of the cloud cats.

Can’t wait to watch again on the big screen at the Regional Final!

Look this is an absolutely beautiful film and an amazing effort for a solo entry. It's whimsical, bright, colourful and presents a fully fleshed out world of cloud cats high above Poneke.

The animation is also incredible. Hot on the heels of last year's grand final winner this is the same sort of top shelf animation festival style you hope to see in 48 and its really cool to see produced.

But to me I thought the story needed more weight to personally resonate. Going dialogue free certainly meant that the visuals spoke for themselves. But at the same time the engagement factor was missing. If you like cute cats you will love this film. But what's the dramatic question here? What's the story actually about? That sometimes what we fear isn't all that it seems? Good message but too lightweight I felt unfortunately.

Its gorgeous and technically impressive but the narrative didn't have enough weight for me. Go well at the final though!
