"Found footage creature feature is a trope well trodden, however when the creatures are animated cartoon aliens with adorable faces that make cute noises - that's something a bit different.
This short film set in a world where enigmatic spaceships hover above Earth before deploying a multitude of small, cuddly alien creatures that act as a hybrid of pet and friend, is a gloriously imaginative twist on a story told so many times before. As we follow the video diaries of our protagonist, one year on these cute aliens are not cute anymore, morphing into giant beasts.
The blend of live action and cartoon is excellent, the style of vibrant colour and sharp edges a fantastic opposite to the live action softness"
