CGI Animated Short Film: 'Decaf Animated Short Film' by The Animation School | CGMeetup

An energetic puppy name Noodle would like to play with his lazy kitten friend, MoeMoe, so he goes to make her some coffee. The caffeine kicks in and they both begin to play, however as the days go on MoeMoe begins to act weird. After each cup she becomes more aggressive, fidgety and her eyes widen. Noodle is terrified of what his friend is becoming and decides to no longer make coffee for his friend. MoeMoe will not have this and threatens Noodle into giving her more , but there is no more coffee left. Noodle wants to save his friend. He trades his collar for some calming leaves he gets from koala. MoeMoe drinks then coffee with the leaves making her calm and chilled.

Decaf was produced by students in their final year of study at The Animation School.

The fact the cat went so crazy the dog tried to do an exorcism is just beyond hilarious

[animejunky]

I guess the moral was short never give coffee to a cat lol, the puppy got more than he bargained for playmate.

[tylerclock]

The Dog when the cat goes crazy: *THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU*

[fissshy]

Moral of the story.

Don't drug your friends, or you might need therapy afterwards.

[mania]

2:00 when you see a spider
Edit:thanks for 324 likes!

I like how the dog is holding a cross after the cat went crazy

[danaMccabe-dagmarK]

This was cute, hilarious, and terrifying all at the same time. Well done!

[wolfie]

I see a lot of comments saying "this is so cute!" "this was so adorable!" and i'm sitting here like 2:00

[jamiefrancescavalencia]

I love the fact that the Pug is holding a cross and the cat just going crazy-

[alexlaw]

I love how the dog just casually puts his thumb up when the owner walks into the mess (also I know dogs don’t have thumbs but apparently this one does)

[RSSpeacemaker]

Usually when I watch CGI films of this aesthetic comedy is just about the last thing I'm expecting. The way they animated the cat basically becoming more demonic after every sip of coffee just kills me.

[JCS_ChanX.]

2:17 mom: DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!
2:21 me: NOPE
2:23 mom: OR I"LL TOOK AWAY YOUR WIFI!
2:27 me: OK OK OK O_O"

[arturratnieks]

**faints cant write more**

**resorects**

[Zorakins]

i love that the dog got a cross when the cat was attempting to murder the dog

[noahketcheson]

the part with the exorcism really made me laugh

[thehighone]

The ONLY thing I dont like about this is that I cant give the video more than one like

[rafaelaschuldiner]

That moment when you see the dog with the Cross on his hands!! Hilarious!

[justpeepz]

If I came home from a holiday and my house is destroyed and my dog gives me a thumbs up, I think I’ll be pretty concerned.

[angelafroehlich]

Crazy Cat: *Exists*

Me: *I have new nightmares*

[meher]

This went from cute
To funny
To cute and funny
