Wow! I love it! Great looking, funny and poignant.
Bravo

Woo hoo!!!! I’ve been waiting for this since Nick did “Waif”!! Thanks for posting about this- I loooooove Nick’s work!

Loved it. Awesome!

Interesting choice of title. Yellowcake is the name of the first stage of preparing Uranium into reactor fuel or for nuclear warheads. Seems the bakers were in a no-win situation with the oafish felines. Excellent animation from a one-man operation.

I can’t get Vimeo at work.. but i’ll be sure to look for this film in Ottawa.

Art work looks great though. Can’t wait!

This is just fantastic. I think it has some of the nicest backgrounds I’ve ever seen!

I caught this last night. Wonderful piece, and a huge Bravo to Nick Cross. I know some people are going to compare this to Spumco work. But trust me, this is something else. Something different. Maybe something evil (and I mean that in a good way).

Thanks everybody!!!!!!

That was awesome Nick.

Very, very nice work. The music to art blend are perfect. Great job, Nick!

That was awesome! Also, the film has a beautiful vintage cartoon visual style. I enjoyed that very much. Congrats to Nick Cross.

wicked man, you got the vintage look better than anything I’ve ever seen. and a great ending. cheers!

DUDE. WOW. Just… wow. High fives all around, Nick.

ooooooh I love it! Now THERE’S something you’ll never see funded by someone like “Cartoonstitute”. Really very enjoyable, loved the ending.

Wow, that was great!

WOW! I haven’t seen a film that I liked that much in quite a while! The visuals and the music were wonderful, and the story was truly amazing! 10/10!

If there’s a fan club, please make me a member.

I wished this film would have remained silent before the Ottawa fest, personally.

Now i’m gonna have to watch it twice :(

Other than a good story and cinematography, i found the “line width” situation a little distracting on the characters. I also thought they didn’t go well at all with the “classical” style backgrounds.

But and in all, great job. Just wished i hadn’t seen it before Ottawa thats all. I like surprises.

That was fucking awesome. I laughed, I was shocked (my jaw dropped when they burnt the mayor alive….totally unconventional for a “cute” cartoon like this)….and the message was clear without being preachy.

Nick you are my new hero.

Nice one! Loved it!

Well, what about people who can’t go to festivals?

I loved it. The message gets through loud and clear.

Great animation, too.

Amazing film, awesome animation. Starts like a “Happy Harmony” then turns into 1984.

WOW! What an acomplishment!! Well done… and excellent use of library music, too!

WOW! that was a nice film .bright future to you Nick .

cool! i love the animation of the cat king coming off the throne… and all the other cartoony animation, too!!

Engrossing, and unfortunately relevant for today.

Very political and well-done!!
Loved it!

I was thinking this cartoon was Smurfs meets Battle of Algiers only drawn better. Very good.

Awesome!! Can’t wait to see it on the big screen at Ottawa!

I found the allegory a little too on-the-nose to be amusing, and the character design and animation reeked of spumco rip-off.

Now THAT’S a cartoon!

Wow, I think “damn good” is quite the understatement. Loved every minute.

Great job, Nick. Another really strong film. Keep films of these calibre coming. Can’t wait for the DVD of all your films!

this was incredible. congratuations, mr. cross!

I’m stunned at the depth/conflicting styles/ and general mastery of the short form.

Congratulations, Nick!
Well Done!

great short! well done

absolutely fantastic! I really like it very much! Great job!
