So okay, I'm kind of piggy backing here so I apologize to anyone who might be annoyed by this but I'm trying to decifer the video and so far I haven't got much, we have a city of cats who are very focused on death, and cats are known for the legend of having nine lives, the eight ball tells her she will die which has the obvious message of nothing lasts forever but also because it's an "eight ball" might it also imply that she's on her final life? And her trying to shoot her clone might also imply she attempted suicide after suffering the corporate nightmare? None of this ties in with eachother well and I'm not sure if I'm just overanalyzing the shit out of a simple animation or just missing the obvious and I need some assistance
the business card : ♍◾▪♓⚫♌⬛◼♏ ...imagine if a fucking language like that actually developed and people tried to communicate with it. That would suck ass. Thank God there's over eight thousand other languages to communicate in.
i love how every location is drawn at an angle or drawn as if everything is further away. hell some parts look like you're somehow looking down on that location while being in the location. and it all portrays anxiety, depression and dissacosiation so well, amazing
And it's like you lived another life but when you look back it doesn't quite make sense and you can't really explain why it felt like it did with words and it's kind of terrifying i like this video
It really sucks that penny’s stuck in a cycle in such a toxic environment trying to make their dad proud, only to end up covering mistakes with even worse things. Idk there’s just something eerie with how things are suddenly back to “normal” after penny almost died trying to save themselves.
I feel so bad for the characters in Vewn's animations, I wish they could all have a happier ending but of course, in real life it never does seem to be that way. poor cats
i didnt understand shit, but still, the animation and the sheer work put onto this is incredible, the way the music blends in with everything, and even just the tiny little details like the sounds playing in bpm with the music, i love this
The company was able to take something penny loved (fighting/roughhousing) and turn it into a monotonous and soulless task. having her do the same thing every day, only the joy of fighting is removed because instead of being a playful activity the company pushes her to her limits. As she goes on penny learned that she is easily replaceable, and not truly valued as the company originally made it seem. They work her until she is horribly injured and can't continue on producing the quality of work she had originally. So they replace her with a fresh clone, and start the process over again. By the time OG penny reaches the clone she is injured and has already lost all hope as Penny had. Recognizing the clones hopelessness, she frees her instead of killing her. It probably will not break the cycle, as even that clone was replaceable. But she was able to reclaim her identity, she now knows that she is worth more than the work she produced at the company, and she is able to move on with her life. It didn't help that her father was work obsessed, pushing the idea that work is the most important thing in someone's life. Even though The father seemingly has no job or hobbies of his own. Other than rewatching the same thing on the TV over and over again. He pushes on this toxic mentally he either wishes he had or wants to pass on to penny. While he's blind to how it affects her. As always, I love all of Vewns videos. Always so thought provoking and well crafted. Will definitely be rewatching this over and over for the next few days
I dunno about that, he probably goes to work when she’s supposed to and is on the couch when he gets back like how most stereotypical dad characters are. Also it was implied that he just cares about her actually working instead of doing nothing and also asks if everything is okay. That’s not toxic she just has problems being honest
I love how in the scenes by the table and hospital, despite the fact that the table and room are small, vewn chooses perspective that makes it seem as though Penny and her father are physically far away from each other, just like they are emotionally distant.
yea but consider that: - the pressure to work by her father - the two don't really spend a lot of time together - penny doesn't tell her father about what she's going through just because he's chill doesn't mean that the two aren't emotionally distant
I 100% feel like you should pitch this or any ideas you have to adult swim! They thrive off of content like this and the world needs more creativity like yours
@@wildKawaAdult Swim isn't apart of the coorporate machine. Look in on how it started off, show after show was made by people who animated to show it to people or attempt to make a name for themselves. And the video isn't soley on the coorporate machine. Militarism, distance between child and parent, poverty, crime etc.
I like how tiny Vewn’s characters are in comparison to everyone and everything else around them, I can’t exactly describe the feeling it gives off but it certainly is despairing
Ahh, yes, that feeling of glorious and terrifying scale. Might I point you in the direction of the manga BLAME! by Tsutomu Nihei for more of that? The author studied Architecture, so his sense of scale is impeccable
I'd say it's kafkaesque, much more than Blame!. The feeling of omnipresent government control and an overbearing father figure you can't seem to please Is much more in tune with this than the cyberpunk megastructures of Blame!. It's not so much that the city itself is even really that big, as we see there are suburbs. It's much more that they're trapped there
I'm not sure how to articulate what i want to convey, but Penny and how she immediately was on the defense about labor (productivity) from her father resonated with me, and how she took a job into a field that can literally kill her, just to satiate that desire to not be seen as a failure. But ultimately in the end it's all a cyclic pattern despite the grief, anguish, efforts it is all self defeating.
i think its a more realistic portrayal. a lot of us had parents who were well meaning but just too tired and beaten by everything, or drugged up already to do it right. You can still love them and know that they messed up.
Every vewn video leaves me with a feeling I can't explain. Like calmness and relaxation (the music, art style and color scheme) with a side of melancholy and disturbedness (the themes and story)

At 30 this hits home. You know the truth, but can you stop it when your family buys in? Love the multi levels on this- and the scratch pen style. The use of distorting space with the perspective is on point!
vewn uploading is like a national event. also love the dylan kanner music. its incredible that this exists. thank you for what you do for smart and independant animation
Interesting to see how the father is also obsessed/entranced by violence in a way that Penny is. Replaying the violence on the television and constantly seeing it (knowing that Penny got into a fight at work 'on the news' shows how broadcasted even mild violence is) leaves him in some kind of trance. A contrast to how desensitized he is vs. Penny who's freshly processing everything, maybe?
I think that's more the point than just "desensitization to violence", because of course it's a world desensitized to violence, but with all the things that actually happen around Penny, her friend getting in the army amidst some dystopian military reform, to just seeing death around her, and then the pressure of "hey, I need a job", Penny dug that hole for herself only to slowly get up and realize what she thought was ok was really messed up, which applies to a lot of things in life, especially when you're pressured to follow it. I figure that's what the cats bleeding out of her were too, the violent side being evicted.
I love the full circle. Poking at and first looking at a dead body brought Penny into the cycle of violence, until it spit her out at the end when she was the body being poked at. Truly great work.
Vewn's animations have layers - some are silly, while others are downright disturbing but real. There's no amount of likes that's adequate for the fantastical level of their work.
This 13 minutes long production of unravelling plot and animation enriched my day in many more ways than I thought it would. Just blown away. The effects of this will last to me for a week at least. Bravo.
I love the character development with Penny. In the beginning, she had to fight the intern who had darts. Even when outmatches, she still manages to win. But she becomes haunted by the violence, symbolized by the red cats trickling down her face like blood. But later when she is running away from the guards, she goes for a kick to the balls, even though she’s capable of doing much more. She actively tries to inflict less pain to others as the story progresses :)
A kick to the balls is by far the most pain she could inflict in that time frame. Even just a slight breeze up against my gonads and I'm out for the count
this is awesome!! i love the nostalgic feel of this, and like everything about it, coming back to this after i first seen it is just satisfying. awesome as always vewn!
The world needs more content like this. Animated indie content with heart put into it and with a quality comparable to a good TV show. Content that pushes boundaries and tells fresh stories.
I came across this while tripping when it first came out and it took me forever to find it again. This is so good. I had such an amazing trip and absolutely love your animation style.
you know if wevn videos make yok feel nostalgia You probably did play great escape game series by pastel games when you were little. their drawing styles are quite similar
I don't know why, but I understand and relate to this. It comes off as nonsense almost but in my heart I really felt it. The feeling of suffering for approval, the notion of being easily replicated and replaced, the lack of care and understanding from everyone around you and the desire to free yourself from this magic-8 ball locked destiny. It truly is brilliant in that way and I'm glad I found it. Thanks for making this
The layers to this are crazy. So many ways to interpret Davey's transition from worker to soldier to robber, Penny's transition from worker to fighter to baghead to criminal to TV watcher, and the masks and incompetence of the soldiers. Just amazing.
I just wanted to say. Your videos right now are helping me stay sane. Especially Catropolis. It's a beautiful short film and it brings a very specific vibe to it. It calms me.
God the style is just incredible to me, like just everything about your animations just sticks in my head it’s more memorable than any other style of storytelling to me, and let alone THE STORIES!!!
Penny had a really good friend. I seriously can't get over how this was somehow comforting and distressing all at the same time! You had such interesting and out there shots, and I loved how simple the characters were in this crazy scenario!
My theory on this is that tis about the glorification and normalization of violence and other fucked up shit in society. It opens with the blue cat asking Penny if she wants to see a dead body, something treated as a cool little waste of time rather than “holy shit this guys dead”. They smoke afterwards, which shows that self destructive stuff like that is readily available to kids (at least I think they’re kids), also represented in the scenes of her in the bar, being allowed to drink. At work, their idea of fun is fighting each other, and Pennys dad is shown mindlessly rewinding murder scenes on tv, not seeming to care and treating it like a regular occurrence and mindless entertainment. Then the guy Penny meets gives her, a young, impressionable kid a job solely to brutalize other cats for entertainment. She is even shown how little she matters to the company she works for when she sees the cloning chamber full of replacements. Not to mention the fucked up irony of the blue cat being sent to the military for being a delinquent, when his job there is to commit crimes against humanity. He is shown as nonchalant about even this, showing his gun to Penny like a new toy (“at least I get a gun!” “Oh yeah, that’s pretty cool.”) and sends a postcard to her saying “I killed someone today” as if he was describing a vacation. This character in general is rather nonchalant about violence, even casually coming into the bar with a gun just to be alone with Penny. The military is very prominent and oppressive here and all wear the same human mask (perhaps representing the concept of The Man?) and when Penny is hurt and laying on the ground, instead of helping her an authority figure chastises her, telling her not to trespass. She wears the bag on her head and escapes the facility with her clone, not even seeming to know why, and is shown as a wanted figure. She abandons the bag and the video ends with her and her father rewinding another death on TV. The cycle of violence repeats. While not as extreme in real life as it is here, society does still have these issues. In the internet age, things that people shouldn’t even be thinking about are shown to us constantly, 24/7. Bad news is reported on much more frequently than good news, and all this violence and death is heavily normalized and desensitized to us “yeah it sucks, but it happens all the time, who cares?” And even glorified, with the military and the police constantly being shown as “heroes” despite the horrors they constantly commit. Kids are shown this stuff and constantly brag about how much gore they see on TikTok and stuff, of course at a much younger age than ANYONE should be when exposed to this. It’s fucked. And it’s normal. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Anyways end Ted talk lol, I doubt anyone finds this but hope ppl like it anyways
The song that goes “Just another one bartender” “alright” is stuck in my head. Also like the high pitched notes that feel off appearing throughout the music.
I ‘m not a big fan of such style cartoons, but can’t stop until the end. Great work with visuals, sound, music…feels like some weird dream that you couldn’t stop watching! AWESOME!
@@novicenoobtube450 Looked it up It was actually called "line boiling", or the nickname given by Tom Snyder, an animator, "squigglevision" Still pretty close tho
It’s amazing how every animation vewn creates has some sort of deep meaning, it’s extremely intriguing, yet so depressing most of the time.. I love that feeling.
@@pizzacat33 there are a bunch of comments on what this video could mean with many different opinions, that’s my favorite part! Getting to figure out and puzzle together other peoples thoughts on vewns videos!
@@UrParentalFigure this video at first was very weird. I thiugh it was some sort of cartoon. But then this turned out to be very interesting & has meaning I need to find after watching many times lol
Wow this is just filled with so many interpretations. I see it following how vulnerable teenagers who have clearly faced some trauma are preyed upon by exploitative corporations (the company worker approaching Penny at the bus stop, the room full of cats like Penny, as well as the cat that takes her place is representative of this) and the military. It touches on the way companies overwork and attach no value to their workers, seeing them as "expendable". The theme of death and pain is prevalent throughout, seen through the demons that "leak" out of Penny and her reaction to Davey killing; I think the way he wears a ski mask and she wears a bag on her head symbolizes the guilt/shame they feel for how they've harmed people and how they attempt to "mask" their own identity from themselves. It also shows Penny's evolution throughout, how she goes from combative and almost bloodthirsty to leaving that essence behind as she discovers the horrors of her new job, slowly realizing the system is against her and she is being pit against those who are in the same position of hierarchy as her, all vulnerable people being preyed upon; all this is followed by her raid of the corporation building and "saving" the other cat, which symbolizes a protest/riot against the system. But the two exploited cats both go forward with their own lives and Penny goes home to replay the television like her dad once did, showing how the system instills generational trauma and leads to Penny's protesting efforts being futile against powerful organizations. The 8-ball represents Penny's uncertainty and naivety throughout, and she eventually no longer uses it, saving the other cat from its position of naivety instead. The replaying of the TV overall represents the sensationalization of media and our desensitization to it. Just wow; an incredible piece of work! If anyone has any other thoughts or interpretations, feel free to reply to this comment because WOW there is so much art and prose packed into this 13 minute video, conveyed beautifully through vewn's unique art style.
this is so well written and i love every part of it. i also saw the cat that replaced Penny as another part of herself, how she tried to go and kill it off- maybe as a way to repress that part of her that fought- but changed her mind, and took the other cat with her. they parted ways, like how you'd understand that person as yourself, but as the you in the past and not the you now. how you kinda accept parts of yourself or who you used to be as you get older. i love vewn's work and how such simple art and short animation can leave so much to be interpreted
I completely agree with everything that has been written so far. ❤️ I also think that the version of Penny with the gun is representative of one's ability to combat their generational trauma with outside help. His friend handed Penny the gun when he entered the building so that Penny could save the alternate version of himself. Here, his friend is showing him what he has learned throughout his life. With this knowledge, Penny returns to a younger, unscarred version of himself. This shows how one can actively work to change themselves when given the help needed. Penny escapes the system for a time and lives with his untainted youth, but this is where his path diverges. One version of himself picks up and moves on to the unknown. The other version of Penny stays in his comfort zone and returns to his old habits. This video shows how one can take their trauma and move on, or it can show how people fail to escape their cycles. Vewn did such a good job with this video, and I really enjoyed reading your guys comments as well, they were all so well written.
“My parents are sending me to boot came. They think I’m a degenerate .” “I don’t think you’re a degenerate” “Yeah.. at least I get a gun though wanna see” Was so dry but couldn’t stop laughing
i love the vein of roughly drawn and or animated stories with next to no dialogue that has a commentary on life. Narrative driven, appeals on a personal level, and created by a person that tries to portray some message.
this is actually really good social commentary on todays (mostly western) outlook on work. penny had something they were passionate about, an agent found that passion and the corporation paid a good salary for penny to sell their soul. and pennys friend too, he is a "social outcast", so his parents sent him to the army to get some discipline, knowingly sacrificing his innocence in the process.
Oh yeah because China India Korea Vietnam and Japan are known for great working conditions. You say western as if you don't know what you're talking about but repeating other people who don't know what they're talking about.
One of your most impressive animations to date. The almost childlike style has been polished to perfection, resulting in an especially mind bending first watch. I'm sure there's a bunch of symbolism I'm too stupid to notice on my first watch, but I'll give deciphering it a try. I feel like this work delves into a lot of different topics, the news, the military, how companies abuse their workers, and how all these systems maintain a cycle of violence. However, I feel like the underlying theme is how desensitized we've become to all of it. We see people constantly rewind the TV to the same segment and just repeat it over and over again as if to dull the shock to a point of normalcy. This could relate to how the news removes the horrible reality from actual tragedies to make them more appealing. There is never fear or happiness expressed here. No smiles, no frowns, just the blank expression best embodies by the mask all the soldiers. There are some notable exceptions such as when the the cats are fighting or when Penny first sees the body. I interpret this as a result of penny's young age. As for other things like the cloning or the red cat thing, I have no clue. Honestly this could all be wrong so take it with a grain of salt. I also keep editing this because I keep realizing new and smart details and potential connections I've missed. Since writing this comment originally there have been several great ideas posed in the comments that I will lay out here. The first is that the red cats represent anxiety posed by rust the wolf. At first I was a bit hesitant about this, but I think it's correct. Not only cause it's little people literally crawling in your skin, but also in the way it is used. In one shot the cats come out of a trophy one of the clones earned, possibly signifying feeling inferior to those who are more successful than you. Then there's the theory that the clones signify how replaceable any employee is within the system and how companies take advantage of their talent first proposed by berry bestie. I think this just makes sense. I don't feel the need to cite specific examples because i think this just fits in really well with the rest of the narrative and tone. I have also come to the conclusion that as a whole this upload is about how awful the status quo is now. After all the fucked up shit Penny endured, the rights abuses, the exploration and the physical injuries, it just ends with her sitting on the couch with her dad, neither of them acknowledging what happened, as if everything is completely normal. That would be because everything that happened here is normal.
@@tentativegazer I like the interpretation you've got from this. I will add something, the way you interpret something can differ from what the artist wanted to show, but it's still valid.
Not really. Maybe to like, white suburban kids. But lifes fucked up for a lot of us. This tells our story. Childhood trauma takes years to undo. This is a traumatized asf kid. A good ending is possible, and that's through Jamie and self-development, possibly through moving out of the city but that's outside the scope of this story. Closeness, love, humanisim, is the inverse of trauma and capitalism.
I was confident this masterpiece is several years old. When I saw “thanks to my patrions” I decided to check the publication date. Imagine my surprise when I found out it is few DAYS old
that was so fucking good im glad I saw the whole thing it reminds me of my life definitely some of it of what penny and davey went through and some of their actions and it really brings a feeling when you relate to something and it made me cry throughout a lot of it since I just see me in it just trying to figure out life
God this is lovely. Even with all the violence and terror- this is still just a cat trying to get by with what they have and seeking approval despite it all. The Magic 8 ball is also such a simple and human thing- asking some strange force to reassure yourself of your trustworthiness is a bit too real. The exploitation of the youth's violence and fighting spirit- ugh, insane shit.
i usually dont understand these till i read the comments, but i always love the big picture. every time, the whole video as one entity fills me with love for the characters, style, and music. plus an emotion i cant describe or explain, but it always makes me want to create my own art with the same feeling, and for that i love it even more. id really like to be able to animate like vewn
Very relatable, I’ve just watched all her RU-vid videos, and it’s clear that not all of them are some big metaphor, and as she grows, her work becomes more refined and the line between nonsense and metaphor kinda blurs, but in a way where it still all feels like quality well thought out content, I hope someday I can do the same, because this shit is awesome
@@potatoboy6094yes exactly! i love blurring the line between metaphors and nonsense in a weird surreal way, i love it cause me personally im a pretty daydreamy guy so i think about some weird stuff a lot, and i have real vivid dreams sometimes, but also im autistic so i don’t understand metaphors super well, i usually need it to be explained so when i create art i put some little symbolism in there that’s easy to understand, plus a lot of things have meanings that only make sense to me (relating to personal experience) so yeah idk i just love these weird dreamy slightly unnerving animations :)
i was JUST looking at this channel the other day, thinking, ‘i wonder when we’ll be able to see a new animation.’ this is incredible as literalli everi single one of your pieces of art are
This is amazing, the story line, the vibe, and all the little details like the wave ending on a lower note, meaning that penny didn't want her interaction with old penny (?)/other competitor to end.
@@SavageFreddy33 Basically the orange cat is friends with the blue cat and they work together and they like to playfight, but they got fired for playfighting in the workplace. The blue cat got sent to a bootcamp, but the orange cat got offered to join a new job. She just thought it was fighting but they were testing her to see if she is good for cloning (possibly for making militia). They scanned her and made clones of her, and she realizes that. Her blue cat friend is now a thief, the orange cat helps her friend, and for the blue cat to return the favor he gives the orange cat the gun. So she goes out and saves a clone with her gun. She then returns home with her dad

to add on: below 'beverages' it says 'liquid' the 'store' I think says it sells 'oil/sludge/slop' and 'we sell scraps' 'cat wish a gun' is probably 'cat with a gun'
I'm seeing a lot about the glamourization of violence, and I think that's a theme, but I also feel like there was a bigger theme of identity here. Early on, Penny and her friend are obviously characterized as kids, or rather probably teenagers just about to become adults. They have jobs but they're still afraid of their parents' authority (as seen by "my dad's gonna kill me" and being shipped to boot camp). Penny lives in a culture of violence, yes, military law seems to exist and virtual children are being handed guns and made to use them ("I killed someone today"). It surrounds her, it's glamourized, and when she has a talent for it, she's also glamourized, made special, instantly vaulted to the elite. She's given enough money to inspire awe, and she only has to hurt people to get it. Later when this lifestyle begins to take a toll on her, she clearly feels trapped, and begins to behave as if she is numb to it. This is what she wanted, this is what society wanted for her, this is the best life possible as was presented to her. People love her, but she isn't happy. When people begin to admire her for what she does, she immediately distances herself from her identity in a classic way -- a bag over her head. "Why the bag?" "I dunno." She can't understand why she doesn't want this. Everybody should want this, but she doesn't. Then, Penny finds out there's more, more people behind a door waiting to do what she does. Maybe they used her to help them create them. This doesn't just feel like a matter of "clones waiting for war", this feels like a matter of "big entities distill what makes you special out of you so they can mass produce people just like you". Look at the entertainment industries especially. They began to take her very identity, and they had as much claim to it as her at that point. It wasn't her own self, any more. Then she begins to literally "lose herself", the blood she's shedding literally flees from captivity, it closes her eyes to her situations, it crawls away from her wounds to escape when she herself is trapped. When she frees the clone, she only frees one clone. Where are the others? I don't think it was about freeing clones. I think it was about taking her identity, her sense of self, back from the people who turned it, and her, into a commodity. It was about freeing herself from the captivity of success, and instead pursuing happiness. "What will you do now?" they don't know, but Penny takes off the bag. She is herself again, and even her captors no longer seem to recognize her just minutes later. She goes home and sits with her dad and tries to go back to her old life. Is it happy, is it sad? I don't know, but it's certainly life.
I got to that point too but you missed one important detail which adds even more sense to it the sign “do not enter here” which means that she had that thought before entering the job or even after job when she was feeling good and after that suddenly she realised that there are and will be many people like that and that this isn’t her anymore also the detail that guard didn’t want her to enter means he didn’t want her to realise that. (Let me know your opinion about this)
Did you see the video? In your 6th paragraph you said that as soon as people start admiring penny, she starts using the bag. That's not it at all. There's no admiration, only one instance of recognition and she puts on the bag after she gets fired because "they" don't need her anymore because they have another "her." She wears the bag because she doesn't want to be recognized as the person on TV because it's not her. I think you got lost in your own sauce. Also at the end you said she started pursuing happiness. I don't see anything to support that at all. She returns to the mundane that she resented before because now she's learned a lesson about how her brush with success didn't afford her happiness, but now she knows just how much trouble she can get into by baulking against the status quo. It's bleak. That's the point.
I really enjoy watching this type of content. The visuals are eerie, the way the characters speak are funny and to the point, music is amazing, and the way the dad and Penny rewinds the TV segment is really interesting
“my parents are sending me to boot camp. they said i was a degenerate or something.” “i don’t think you’re a degenerate.” i keep coming back to listen to this audio. my parents sent me away to the troubled teen industry for 7 months when i was 16/17. i never received any kind of justice after being sent away, and i doubt i ever will. but this audio calms me down everytime. i wasn’t a degenerate - i was sick.

Gosh the blood cats crawling out of the banages makes my skin crawl. I'm so happy Dylan Kanner did the music for this too he's so amazing! What an amazing film that feels so true to what everything feels like right now. Thank you vewn for making this, it's art like this that feels necessary
my favorite parts of this is how they orange cat (idk names sry lol) she slowly is destroying herself , and that was what seemed the only way to make the father proud
Love this to bits. Violence is our output when we can’t express ourselves with words when we’re overwhelmed, with the result that people will hate us more. Everything being written in wingdings (I presume?) stresses devastatingly this feeling of being excluded from all the others, of not understanding and not being understood… both outside and at home, with the father figure seeming so distant. A work of genius, true art.
reminds me of this girl who stabbed another girl in the hand, with a pair of scissors ,at school. except they didnt know she was being bullied by the girl she stabbed.
the weird thing is the dad isn't even a bad guy he's just kind of hollow like he's already been beaten so he doesn't really know how to care for others anymore besides the basic are you okay he still loves you he just doesn't really know how to express it at all
