    Cat Protection League

    I've decided to review each of the short films that make up this series individually.

    Whilst undertaking an archaeological dig, Dr Wehunt (voiced by Michael Benyaer) discovers the tomb of Dracula and unfortunately awakens its sole inhabitant. With his small group of mercenaries he desperately tries to escape the catacombs before finding an unlikely reprieve in the form of a stray cat.

    Much more traditional pencil animation this time, so not the technical marvel that some of the other episodes are, that said it's a fun short with a couple of interesting supporting characters and an engaging premise. It does, as others have said, end rather abruptly and in an unsatisfying way and I would have liked to see this one run for another 15 minutes or so to expand on the world a little more.

    But yeah, OK whilst it lasted.

    God!

    A short film with good animation, a story that caught my attention with the necessary ingredients and best of all: The Cats!

    7.5/10

    Dont get the hate on this ep. Imo its better than ep 4.

    Good: gore, the ending

    Meh: very Simple plot. No robots.

    Meh

    When the monster was speaking the subtitles were simply "speaking Romanian", but it wasn't Romanian at all!
