    No words may describe how much good is it

    This short film, has everything a good and well written story may require: action scenes, interesting story that makes dive right in, characters who are ones with depth, dialogue that one could only wish was possible within reality etc...

    But the comes the cherry to the cake. That is the music, and the music makes it even more perfect. I don't wanna spoil too much but the way the music comes is what sets the mood and the atmosphere of this short film, and what makes the audience to be excited in regards on what happens on screen, especially in action filled scenes.

    In conclusion, I highly recommend it to everyone who reads this review, I spoiled as least as I could, so you would have the opportunity to experience this recently released animated masterpiece.

    A ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE !

    You might see my rating and think "A ten? That seems like your over praising it" to which I say "No I'm not over praising it, IT'S TRULY A MASTERPIECE OF AWESOMENESS!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The animation is BEAUTIFUL and the characters are shockingly well developed for a 27 minute short. Also the characters being cats, and not just people who look like cats, but actually have the mannerisms and personalty traits of them is amazing! Also another thing to love is the world that this creates, a rich, stylized world that I want to revisit again and again. And you will also want to revisit it multiple times once you have first laid your eyes upon it.

    I suggest you watch this as soon as you have time to do so, you wont be disappointed! (unless you don't like cats, a 1920's time period or animation. But if that IS the case why are you even reading this?) I sincerely hope this gets picked up for a full series!

    Lackadaisy can be found on youtube.

    Absolutely brimming with potential

    This shows immense potential. The animation was spectacular. The characters personalities and dynamics show promise. The story is enough to get one interested and I am ready for more. The only issue I may have is that perhaps for the pilot a bit more for the story could have been done. Some of the characters we didn't get a whole ton with as well. However in a way that shouldn't be taken as entirely a bad thing. Part of why I even mention it was that what I did get made me really want more. The show like the drink it centers around is addictive in its own way making me wish to have more. I believe the potential of this animation if given a strong direction could be prove to be truly something spectacular as a series.

    Something finally outside of the box, but something that should be more in the box. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    I can love anime characters and even specially this style of character designs. Brilliant 👏🏼 👏🏼 What I would love more in animal base characters in a funky animation style like this💗💓💗💗💗💗💗💗 if was rich enough I would be happyly fund it.

    Hands down too the team for this new style of brilliant, I'm for going on but the stupid required isn't letting me go in peace, all I can say this style of art style is something not too forget.

    A must watch for animation lovers, I think if this is more successful it should get dubbed in Japanese too start a Japanese fan base, this something new for the animation world.

    So much potential

    I'll keep this short and sweet, this is a ver good pilot. It managed to completely sell me on the characters, setting, and plot in under 30 minutes. I can't wait for the season to air. I've seen people complain that it's too short, but it's important to note that this is only the pilot episode.

    I'd like to especially congratulate all the animators, it's incredible that artists were able to make something with so much passion weaved into it, in the pandemic! The voice acting is also unsurprisingly great. Amazing artistry all around!!

    I highly encourage you watch it, it's full of love and it shows.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The animation in this film re-creates the "xerographed" style of 1960s and 70s Disney productions, in which rough pencil sketch lines are visible in the animation. This vintage look was achieved using the same software that was used to re-create this style in Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
    • Goofs
      The muzzle flash emitted from the M1921 Thompson that Freckle fires at the Marigold gang is incorrect, resembling that of an M16 'Birdcage' muzzle flash. As a result of the Cutts Compensator on the Thompson's barrel, the muzzle flash should disperse upwards and outwards instead.
