FAQs:

Q. What software do you use?
A. Simon's Cat has been made using a variety of animation software over the years. Originally in Adobe Flash. Then TV Paint (and still on occasions) and most recently using CelAction.

Q. Why does it take so long to make each Simon's Cat film?
A. Animation is a slow process and Simon’s Cat films pay particular attention to observed, real life cat behaviour. Historically the films were traditionally animated frame by frame. More recently we use Celaction which has sped up the process but still requires a lot of care and attention. Each film takes approximately 6-9 weeks to make, depending on complexity, number of characters and special effects.

I like the new character. I can see a lot of fun with it.

Funniest Simon's Cat short I've seen in a while. Love the crow tickling him with a feather. It's a keeper.

[HighTen_Melanie]

Love that the crow was almost as big as Simon’s Cat!

[TheNamelessDoll]

The animation in this one is extraordinary!

[kathleenlajeunesse]

Please make Crow a featured character. I need more.

[Daniel-brnc]

Hooray the cat actually won!


Nevermind

[KherKit]

No matter what my mood is, your work can always make me laugh. Thank you!

Love crows! Happy to see a crow as a new character!
Please always show him in a positive, unharmed light.
They are wonderful, brilliant birds with extremely admirable qualities and are terribly misunderstood.

There is someone, somewhere, who sat in front of a microphone going AAH

I LOVE the Crow!! Crows are known to be pests to larger raptors as well! And they're smart! I hope we get to see more of "Crow" in future videos!

[anne-droid]

Well, it's about time that Simon's Cat gets the upper hand with those pesky birds in the garden! Way to go, kitty!

[CommunityCats]

We have 2 nests of blackbirds in our backyard and they have been dive bombing the cats all week! Love the new character 😻

[Nanapudin]

Shi**ed on...just when he thought he had it under control...😂😂😂😂I couldn't breathe

[Rainygirl]

My favorite bird lol, perfectly captures what I love about them. They're very smart, and love to have fun (aka messing with other animals)

[katie_the_lady]

I’m sure this happens on a daily basis too and no human notices it 😅

[bittekeinddos]

Crows are so annoying, but also smart!

[NRMaster]

It turned into a instant classic. Simply funny.

[rabbitwhisperer]

Love it! Surely one of the funniest adventures for a while. Laughed from start til finish. . Love the crow's laugh. Love the smugness. Love the crow's come-uppance and love the end!

[TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Hahaha this made me actually laugh out loud XD

[jeffhur]

Ha! Surprisingly accurate portrayal of a crow. My dog loves to chase them but when on leash there's one crow that follows us every morning on our walks and it will not stop crowing and banging its head on something. It's like he's taunting my dog saying "haha you can't get to me". My poor dog.
