Worth waiting for. Forwarding to everyone I know.

I'm a long-time lurker, but first-time commenter and only because I have to say that this film is most excellent. When can we expect the sequel?

Rowan said...

Awesome :-)

H said...

Oh my God, you are a genius!
Well done and thank you!!!
PS I discovered Fantastic Plastic machine when I was living in Japan. Very odd indeed.

I always read but never have posted before. But I have to say I thought your feature length film rocks. I also thought the pictures of the frog drug all around was quite funny also.

Bob said...

so, will the sequel include the hoover of doom?

Wendell77 said...

Man, that was hilarious. Happy tears still stand in my eyes! Creative genius!

Now I don't mean to be a naysayer, but to be honest I'm not sure about the denouement.

Personally, when I decide to wander off on a late-night frogging adventure and return to the house in the early hours, only to share my foul stomach wind with my life partner, I tend to receive a firmly administered blow to the genitals, rather than a celebratory animated short.

Of course, YMMV.

Hilarious. I want Derek's autograph and I think you could auction off her frogs on ebay. Your blog always makes my day.

meno said...

I am practically in tears. That is so damned cute. You are the best.

I can eat a LOT of popcorn in 65 seconds.

Victoria said...

LOL!

liv said...

That is the cutest thing ever!!

lori said...

THIS is what the internet was made for. (Thank you Al Gore)

Please make my day/week/month and tell me/us this will be a regular blog series? Or a children's book series? Or a syndicated international TV program?

doow said...

Brilliant :-)

zu said...

NOW. That was excellent.

How did you do it?
How?

Lisa said...

Esme is cute and all, but this, THIS is your crowning achievement.

Thank you.

Léonie said...

Ahaha brilliant.

Josephine said...

This is wholly awesome. You are such a badass!

Doug said...

It's definitely time for you to stop mucking about and get back to work. You'll be an Internet celebrity before you know it. And then you'll be sorry. Oh yes.

Sara said...

Adorable and awesome.

susies said...

that was fantastic. I loved it! You have a future. Submit that to a film festival. It would be a great short.

That was AWESOME.

ephelba said...

Ahhh, the joys of catitude. You've captured them purrfectly. I'm especially fond of the way you swear- a very nice touch.
I second the motion to call for an episode with the hoover of doom.

Lynda from Canada said...

Bravo!

...can you hear the applause all the way from here?!?!?!?

(By the way, it is freaking shocking how many kernels of corn can be shoved into ones mouth in a course of 65 seconds...thanks for the challenge!)

FW Sunshine said...

I too am a lurker.I have been inspired to come out of hiding by this fantastically funny short. I watched it three times. Laughed my ass off all three times. I own three cats. I feel your pain. My sentances are awfully short. Don't know why.

Laura said...

He he! This film made my day. So funny! And the soundtrack is absolutely perfect. Well done!

Antonia said...

Hooray! That went down well, didn't it.

Zu, the film was made in Windows Movie Maker, my new favourite toy.

Bob et al, the Hoover of Doom would make an excellent sequel.

Hello to all you de-lurkers, you brave souls, you. Thank you for piping up.

J. said...

I loved the film!!! Especially Derek's proudly waving tail, the soundtrack, and the vivid details of the sacred heart of Jesus picture. My husband the lapsed Catholic always seems to recover his religion ['what in the name of Mary Mother of God....?!?!'] when we're awakened at 3 am by our cat triumphantly waving some prize like a piece of thread or the ring off the milk carton over our heads.

UrbanCowgirl said...

I am bereft, for I can see no movie. There is just a gap. I have tried Firefox and IE, and I downloaded some java thingy my computer told me to. No joy.

All I know is it involves cats and frogs and a jesus of some kind, which leads me to believe I am missing something quite wonderful.

Can anybody help me figure out how to see the film? Ta.

JoeyJoJo said...

Unforunately I can't see any movie either. At first I thought it was a big joke "Emperors new clohes style" but no it seems there is a movie in there somewhere with lots of my favourite things in it!!!!!Darn it.

Antonia said...

That's odd! And more than faintly annoying.

You can watch it here on YouTube.

Brandy said...

Had to delurk to tell you that was awesome! By the way, found you during NaBloPoMo and I'm hooked.

Taylor said...

I have now come back to this post every day for almost a week. I cannot get enough of it. Brilliant.

Lisa said...

My kids make me play this for them at least once a day. And I've found 2 Fantastic Plastic Machine CD's at the library, once of which is Luxury. When we listen to it, the girls happily shriek "it's Derek Music!".

Antonia said...

Cool!!

Do your kids run around with frogs in their teeth when it comes on?

dionna said...

Holy hell that was funny - my s/o and I particularly enjoyed the drawers (because our youngest cat *loves* mine - she's a lesbian we think). Also the 3am wake-ups? Do cats get together and discuss?
