Taking inspiration from the springtime blooms of the Pacific Northwest, It’s The Little Things returns with “Part 2: Spring”. The sequel follows the cozy, heartwarming “Part 1: Winter”, which Deep Sky released in late 2022 and has been viewed over 1 million times by viewers around the world.

This short focuses on our homesteading frog reveling in the enchantment of a peaceful spring afternoon at his forest home. The narrative combines idyllic “cottagecore” aesthetics with nostalgic memories of vibrant springs. Revered works, like Over the Garden Wall, The Wind in the Willows, and the famous nature scenes from Studio Ghibli, played a vital role in shaping the animated short’s unique charm.
