Deep Sky’s first installment of its animated anthology It’s The Little Things – originally released as the 2022 holiday short. Our 2D film gained over 500K views and over 60K likes on Instagram and TikTok within a two week period.
The short follows a homesteading frog settling in for a cozy evening in his log cabin during a mild and peaceful winter. Inspiration for the visual style is “cottagecore” aesthetics combined with our production team’s nostalgic perspective of their “coziest memories of winters spent at home.” Various works, including Over the Garden Wall, The Wind and the Willows, and Studio Ghibli’s famous food scenes, were also influential.
