Cat Shit One (2010)

A short CGI animation (approx 22 mins) directed by Kazuya Sasahara and based on Motofumi Kobayashi's manga of the same name. Technically promoted as the first episode of a series, to date it's the only one to appear, so I'm treating it as a short. It features armed bunnies in a middle eastern war zone. Furry mammals at war with foreign camels may seem comical on the surface, but the work is deadly serious and realistically violent. While the mo-cap animation often feels like video game FMV, the camera follows the action just like it would for live action, successfully placing the viewer in the thick of it.
The story follows two soldiers, Packy and Bota, as they attempt a rescue mission amidst superior enemy numbers. The characterisation is decent, considering how brief it is, and voices in the Japanese version are great.
