“Norman Television” (2016Moving picture, 4 minutes)

Seen in 2022.

A spin-off of The Secret Life of Pets (2016). I like the metacinematic premise but it degenerates into a marital melodrama with Home Alone (1990) violence.

“Weenie” (2016Moving picture, 4 minutes)

Seen in 2022.

The motif of anthropomorphic food is casually repeated from old cartoons like “The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon” (1933). The budget must be at least an order of magnitude higher and yet there is less thought.

A spin-off of Sing (2016). The bull dancing sequence is the best animation in Minions & More 1.
