"There he is, a magical cat. Everybody loves him, he's a magical cat!!" Have you met the Magical Cat? Isn't he just the best!! The two animators who run a small studio called Threadwood have been creating these fun "Magical Cat" videos over the last few years and posting them online for everyone to enjoy. The first one debuted in April 2020, likely made out of pandemic lockdown boredom. But they've continued on for two years and they're getting even better. Now they make them between bigger projects "to loosen up and enjoy animation" again. Magical Cat is a claymation series of cat vignettes made by animators Scott DaRos and Alexis Deprey. Sadly their kitty passed away last year. In Episode 8 they write: "Magical Cat is based on our cat who passed recently. Those are his coos and purrs in the audio." Aww. He will live on through these adorable videos!
