Cat Shit One

Cat Shit One (2010) is a Japanese animated short you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Kazuya Sasahara, it packs 22 minutes of dense action around two rabbit mercenaries, Packy and Botasky, running a desert rescue mission. Tactical movement, drones, suppressing fire — executed with photorealistic CG that makes the cartoon characters feel unsettling rather than cute.

Adapted from the manga Apocalypse Meow, which followed animal stand-ins through wars from Vietnam to the modern counterterrorism era. Private military contractors, ideological violence, body counts — the film doesn't soften any of it. The real point lands quietly: armed rabbits killing armed camels looks no more absurd than the actual thing they're standing in for. Stream Cat Shit One online on iFILM.
