The Cat Piano

Continuing with a piano theme you should watch this wonderful animated short film. It's 8 minutes long and has a wonderful style. I love the limited colour palette, the drawing style and the words are wonderfully clever too.

The film is based on a poem written by Eddie White and is narrated by Nick Cave.

In a city of singing cats, a lonely beat poet falls for a beautiful siren. When a mysterious dark figure emerges, kidnapping the town’s singers for his twisted musical plans, the poet must save his muse and put an end to the nefarious tune that threatens to destroy the city.

The site has stills and posters to download as well as the full text of the poem. I was totally enchanted by it.
