I don't mind short films that are thinly veiled advertisements when they're done like this. Incredibly awesome and worth the twelve minutes.
The Oatmeal strikes gold again.
But by far the most awesome is the signed print of Gatling Kitty you can buy…
So full of win (and awesomeness). The entire Internet should see this sixteen second video:

At least watch until about 3:05. Trust me.

Go to that link, and click "Listen."

Enough to pass the uncanny valley? You decide:
It's really close. The facial nuances are eerily life-like. However, there's still a stiffness to the body gestures that keeps it in the valley. Though I'm pretty sure they were focussing on the face, and not the rest of the body.

One fateful day while visiting my girlfriend (now wife) in college, I stopped by Toys “Я” Us to buy a Dreamcast at a deep discount—Sega was exiting the console race and focussing instead on games. It was a very capable machine for the time and I'm surprised it didn't do better, but I digress. Somehow, I got my hands on ChuChu Rocket, and my life was never the same1. There were many game nights where it was nearly the only game played. Even my wife (then girlfriend) really loved the game. Which is fortunate, because…
ChuChu Rocket is being released for the iPhone and iPad sometime in late October!
Mrs. Awesome, I know you'll understand when I have my head down, focussed on guiding those helpless mice away from the evil cat and to their rockets!
