Vau-Vau is one of a few animated shorts I've seen from Zagreb Films

Just discovered on Cartoon Brew linked to YouTube this unique animated short from a company called Zagreb Films. In Vau-Vau, a dog in the forest scares many small creatures like a bird, a snail, and a ball. Then he encounters a cat who tries to scare the dog back. Then they both go at it with smaller versions of themselves...Wholly done by one artist, Boris Kolar, Vau-Vau seems to have been decorated by a magic marker with black representing the dog and purple the cat. Wonderful orchestral music throughout especially when the flute is showcased. Anyone interested in unique animation forms from other countries should give this and others from Zagreb Films a chance. I'm now going to watch a couple more from Cartoon Brew...

The slapstick comedy subgenre, a term that originates from a type of wooden paddle with a hinged flap that was used in early comedic performances to create slapping noises during comedic actions, is a form of physical comedy characterized by exaggerated, boisterous, and often absurd actions, situations, and physical interactions. Slapstick humor relies on visual gags, physical stunts, and exaggerated movements to create laughs.
