The plot is questionable if you look deep but the animation is very good, 7 December 2002

A dog has a cat inside him. The two fight to get on, with one's desires always getting in the way of the other's. However the conflict cannot go on forever and the two learn the hard way to find common ground and work out something for themselves.

I watched this not really sure what to expect - I mean the title could suggest all sorts of crazy animated stuff. I was a little let down to see that it physically was a dog who had a visible cat inside him. However it managed to still be interesting even if I think I lost the point a little too easily. Is it saying that if we have one face on the outside but also inner desires that control us and make us unhappy that we should just let it go and find someone to make us happy? I would have preferred if the film had concluded that the inner `cat' must be released - surely if we are a dog then we must live like a dog either that or `come out' as a cat? It can't be healthy to have conflicting desires.

That aside the animation is bright and clever. I enjoyed watching it even though I worried that the animation would be some sort of student pretentious stuff. Melchior did a good job with the animation even if the plot didn't work as well for me.

Overall this is just over 4 minutes long so it isn't time wasted by any means. The plot may be wrong in it's point if you dig too deep into it, but at the surface it is cheerful and the animation is very clever and well done.
