31 Nights of Halloween: Cartoon Cat

Cartoon Cat (2021)
Starring: Jack Satish
Director: Raghav AK
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

An armed robber (Satish) escapes police pursuit by hiding out in an apparently abandoned building. He soon comes face-to-face with a strange creature that makes him wish he had surrendered to the police.


Cartoon Cat is an urban-legend type character that (I think) has been made Open-Source by its creator. This is one of several films that have been made over the past few years featuring the character, and it's one of the best. The effects merging live action and computer animation are great, as is the story. Jack Statish is also great as the robber who comes to regret his life's choices. 

"Cartoon Cat" is equal parts action film, horror film, and comedy... and each part is equally well executed. Heck, this may well be the near-perfect Halloween short film--it's full of tricks AND treats! 



While I'm at it, I posit that Cartoon Cat entered our world in a fashion similar to the way Koko the Clown got here. (Click here to see the secret behind how an animated character crossed over from the animated universe to ours!)
