Description

--DISCLAIMER--

The way we portrayed Frances :iconmisssakura: and Oliver :icongman3k: in this film is not at all indicative of their real-world selves - we exaggerated Frances' obsession with James by making the relationship an unwittingly violent one - in real life Frances and Oliver treated James with as much love and care as you would expect. Similarly, Oliver doesn't parade around in nothing but his underwear =P.

Unfortunately James went missing several months ago, so please go and send your condolences to Frances and Oliver - and check out some of the photos of the real-world James and Ella on Oliver's page while you're there.

The Film


Ode to James is an animated music video we created for our friend Frances :iconmisssakura: for her birthday. It chronicles her untamed love for her scraggly cat James, her romantic relations with a certain Oliver Cross, and the unplumbed depths of difficulty she experiences as a result of being a British-born immigrant in New Zealand.

Ode to James is not an officially released Ruzu short - but we thought we'd put it up here for you to enjoy (and hopefully put up with all the in-jokes).

The film is absolutely not-for-profit - which hopefully excuses us from a severe legal skirmish with comedy hero John Cleese's lawyers.
