This oddball short was about a man who invented a machine that converts cats into cups, and he goes on a lifelong mission to 'catnap' every moggy from the region to feed his contraption. The first point to note is that I don't think it was especially true to the genre. Even though we get to see the character as a young and old guy, it makes no difference to the story whatsoever. It may as well been two weeks passed, not forty years. Three separate stories about different parts of his life is probably what this genre needed.
That aside, I still give the short 4 out of 5 because it was done in a very good way. A lovely "Amelie" style musical opening set the scene, with good acting and superb costume/make-up throughout. The machine itself also looked good, for what was plainly tinfoil and LED's.
Good job everyone involved
