#satiricalanimation

There is a certain grim beauty in the repetition of the struggle. This gritty, hand-drawn animation explores the crushing weight of inequality through the eyes of an anthropomorphic rat. No words, just the rhythmic clanking of a machine that never stops. A dystopian art piece that serves as a quiet but sharp social commentary on the cycles we inhabit.

In a city of neon tags and endless racks, rats chase the promise of “new.” This hand-drawn satirical animation uses repetition and silence to explore fast fashion as a loop—desire, discard, repeat—until meaning wears thin.

The rats don't debate the flood. they count coins. they polish coins.

they build treadmills from trash to run in place as water swallows their ankles. the red emergency light pulses like a heartbeat they refuse to acknowledge. this is denial not as ignorance—but as ritual. gritty 2d animation where every drip is a fact, every coin a distraction, and the ending resets the cycle for the next generation.

There is a specific kind of madness in the morning alarm. 🕰️

This animation explores the gritty, soot-stained reality of "the grind" through the eyes of a rat in a pinstripe waistcoat. It’s a rhythmic, dialogue-free descent into the irony of our own routines—where the prize is as heavy as the effort it takes to reach it.

A textured, melancholy satire: anthropomorphic rats in a dystopian city run the wheels of productivity until the machinery swallows their breaks.

Visually rich, wordless, and ironic — a short that reads like a visual essay on burnout.
