Gutsy is a small, black adopted kitten who struggles to find where he belongs. Finally finding a house with loving owners, he struggles with his insecurities and fears to find acceptance in the big scary world, with him assuming that his owners are witches.
The goal of the project is to deliver a short live action and animated trailer of a future family series about a young girl befriending an animated cat around Halloween - the cat so happens to believe the little girl is a witch.
We aim to bring back the animation techniques of combining 2D animation and live action environments and people. Referencing to 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', a 1988 animation, displaying live action actors and environment mixed with animated characters.
The goal is to create a family show combining 2D animation elements around an animal character with a live action human sidekick.
