Death isn’t actually a bad card in tarot. It basically means change- bad AND good. Since the cat’s past was bad, it meant a change for the better.

The same can't be said for the happy squirrel card.

I think that's the point. Most members of the audience, and the cat himself, assume death means a fatal outcome, but in reality it means a change. Foreshadowing the end of the film when the bird wasn't a harbinger, but a new friend. In the end, his fortune came true, just not the fortune most were expecting.

I was actually about to clarify this exact point, also the ten of swords isn't a bad card either.

Is jitters female?

This is an FANTASTIC SHORT, it’s honestly incredible, the way the owls dress moved, the transitions were on point, the fact the characters was a black cat, the gorgeous art style, the constant number 13 everywhere and the great character designs, truly a sight to behold. I loved everything about this and it’s clear a lot of effort and time went into this, and I like the twist at the end, very clever. Keep up the brilliant work

In some cultures black cats are actually considered lucky.

I love that made the set up that he lost his wallet at the beginning but made it subtle enough that I didn't realize the twist at the end! This is also absolutely beautiful! You're use of squash and stretch are fantastic not to mention the motion smears add so much to the speed. I hope to make something as good as this someday!

Man this short is really charming and some of these shots are super smooth. Good stuff

This is great! Very funny, very charming, the main character - heck, pretty much every character - was adorable, and that stress of feeling like everything you do to avoid your problem just makes everything worse is super relatable. We need more videos and shorts like this on KZread.

Wow! The film is incredible! I knew from the trailer that there was greatness to come. And here it is! I like how Jitters got the Death card. Despite its' name, it's actually a positive card (in a neutral reading)! It promises reinvention and starting anew. And, just as you know it, Jitters DID start anew - he ripped that card, as he got tired with all that superstition/fortune stuff, and actually invited that raven to a cup of coffee! Now that's improvement. I'm happy for our Jitters boy! (: As for the animation... it was stunning! The colors, the smoothness, the lightning, the backgrounds and the beautiful work of the voice actors work really well together! Comedy bits are a try-hard, but I liked the creativity with the salty pretzel cart - I don't think I have seen a bit with that cart before, so props for that! Overall, this is a genuinely good short film! I think you've got Nine of Pentacles and the Wheel of Fortune! ;)

This is amazing, giving the irony that the main character is a black cat, and does many things in the animation that is considered bad luck, such as walking under a ladder, breaking a window, and he throws salt over his shoulder (which is usually to ward off bad luck). This is very detailed with how short it is!

THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!!!! Big congrats to absolutely everyone working on this! The Soundtrack?? Sublime!!! The Colors??? Delightful! The Concept??? Wholey unique and touching! Everyone working on this project worked their asses off and it shows, congratulations to you all! :)!

Music reminded me of Banjo-Kazooie and I felt like a kid watching cartoons after school. It was great.

This looks like a real bad day, just to add more for the cat kid's misfortune... Black Cats are also bad luck. Man

you can see Jitters drop the wallet, cool attention to detail

Night in The Woods anyone?

A lot of artists don't tend to appreciate their original works being compared to something else because it makes them feel unoriginal.

Funny, and I love the way it was animated. Especially the owl's shutter eyes. Though it seems she was a bad fortune teller. You seem to have studied Tarot, since the combination of Death, the Tower and Ten of Swords hints the cat's life is changing completely. It's refreshing for me, because most writers/scripters who use tarot cards on tv, books or movies takes them literally for their face value. (I saw once a Western where the Hanging Man's card predicted the hero's life would change, dang it!)

the kitten looks like Mae Borowski of Night in the Woods

I like the crow character. Like the cat is obviously very scared and bad things do happen to them... But it's mostly from the silly superstitions they follow, which aren't working. The crow may be the first person in a long time to be like "yo you got some issues that need working on". And having coffee together won't fix that, the cat needs like professional help at this level tbh. But it's a good first step.

I knew this deserved more attention, insanely underrated

Ah this was so cool! So many good colors and fluid animation! Also the music was spot on!

I love the artstyle of this film so much, the art and animation is amazing, nice job :) was also really poetic how the cat had bad luck the entire film and at the very end, the cat avoided death simply out of pure luck

Beautiful work, music, scenery, everything's in place. Although I strongly believe that words are unnecessary in this short - yes, the actors did a good job (and their voices are suiting), but all the emotions and ideas are already shown by the vivid animation and there is simply no need to include phrases here in my humble opinion.

The main character's design looks like Mae Borowski, and i cant unsee it xd Never the less, looks great! :D

I like how they put everything unlucky, like under the ladder, breaking a mirror and he is even a black cat

I do know the card meanings! *”Cough amateur?”* The Tower : destruction and enlightenment. The towers it hit by lightning like collapse ideal, Dreams. Think of your world is falling apart , it better to surrender to it. So in the future, you can build better and more foundation Tower and bigger then original tower. Ten of swords : ending. Having this card upright is Ruin, Sound Scary does not lead to death or destruction. But to broken bonds of friendships, job loss, falling business, Ten of swords Applies to group of people rather then individuals. Death : transformation and change. Death brings ending and beginnings, Death’s impact is sudden And is a stocking. You have little Control over external events when Death looms. I not professional of Tarot Cards, But People’s who Made this Video Did there Researched accurate. I love Video w/ Owl.

The black and green contrast make me remember my first phone, a Nokia

Past: The Tower: misfortune, calamity, trouble. Present: The Ten of Swords: Conflict. Arguments, fighting, trouble in a fairly big way (ten) Future: Death: Change, great change, facilitated by what's going on in the present. All in all, not a bad trio. His past is full of misfortune and calamity, and he will presently experience conflict (not having money to pay for the reading), but a change in his fortune is coming and things will improve, and in a big way. That set is actually a pretty optimistic and reassuring one! Also, love the fact that his new friend is a raven. Ravens are in many places symbols of death, and it's a nice touch that his Death Card change was facilitated by a raven entering his life.

Great short! The animation here is so beautiful and I love the designs of these characters!

So underrated, this deserved millions of views! Very great 👏👏👏👏

The animation and character design is so cute!! I love the concept and everything so much! Great color palette and style and it was a nice choice to make the main character mute, whether for a physical or mental reason. I hope they have a nice time with the bird and the pig can recover from losing his precious salt (also I particularly liked the pig’s voice acting for whatever reason) Overall, I’m not sure what it means coming from someone who will be 15 in a month, but this was amazing!

Holy guacamole this is so good

This was really nice holy crap, I loved the animation

I already love this year for indie animation. Sad for the “big boys”, good for the “little guys.” See what I did there? Probably not. Big boys are the bigger companies. And the little guys are these indie creators.

This is so cute. I love it! ❤️

I was thinking two things the entire time: -Death ISN'T a bad card. It represents Change, moving on from what the current status quote is. It can be a bad change, OR a good change. -THE ARCANA IS THE MEANS BY WHICH ALL IS REVEALED. THE ARCANA IS THE MEANS BY WHICH ALL IS REVEALED. THE ARCANA-

H-h-hE'S ALIVE

The expressions and fluid movements are AMAZING !! THIS WAS GREAT KEEP IT UP

It deserves a like. IT FUCKING DESERVES

Well done! Such a fun watch!

LOOOOOVE IT! The animated movement, the superb characters, and the STORY! Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Genius, I say! ^^

A black cat that believes in bad luck, Ironic, very creative, very nice 😌

WE LOVE JITTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so wonderful! Should definitely get more attention I love this

Yoooo this was so good!! I really hope it gets more views cause the effort is palpable!!

Oh my i really love this the Character Design the animation of course. Especially the Music i don't know how you Managed to make that but WoW! Great Job 👍

Appealing art style? Check. Smooth and eye catching animation? Checkers. An under appreciated artist that youtube is no doubt going to shadow over and prevent more people from seeing their work? We got bingo baby.

oh wow this was a long time coming. great work!!

AWWW THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! the animation reminds me so much of Night In The Woods

Night in the Woods 2 is lookin' great!

I think this video deserves more

Beautifully animated. Serious kudos!

Its so smooth its beautiful 😩

if this were a tv show, i'd watch it in a heartbeat

Hey keep up your animation it perfect

its called hightail and is a short film........ its an awesome film

"Jitters", omgggg???💗💗

This is one of the best animation my eyes ever saw, your like Disney level at animation

Love the ending, it’s absolutely adorable

Yay! Been waiting for this! Would love to see more of Jitters' adventures, this was super well made
