'RatBoy' A Short about a sociopath boy who messes with the wrong rat (ANIMATED)

id like to praise this but this really is just completely plagarized from hamster hell by Lee Hardcastle.

reddit hated callouts like this, but loves "credit the creator" comments so ill roll the dice. if i get booted right to controversial it is what it is.

plagarism isnt cool. this is so heavy handed its unreal. its really not cool to steal, and one can argue all day about this, but the concept and execution is too close, in the form of an internet short...fucks sake its even in the box, man. the kid talks the same way.

unfortunately this likely wont be agreed with because it may seem like a simple concept...but it falls into the category of "if its so simple, why didnt anyone else do it?" i have never ever seen this scenario depicted in such a way (tonality being identical, as opposed to say, a film about a father struggling with his child hurting an animal that is presented as a story of growth, not horror.)

its just too close. not cool. animation is tight knit, you can't convince me a contemporary horror internet animator would be unaware of one of the biggest contemporary horror animators around.

shameful.
