Well, mover over RSPCA, because we’ve got some groundbreaking research happening right here in the 3D animation world! In Planet Pussy Willow, our dear feline friends are letting the cat out of the bag about their feelings for their lesbian owners – and it’s paws-itively interesting! Although it is an unusual topic, it does a fantastic job showcasing how innovative, open, and quirky the world of animation can be. A purr-fect blend of comedy, cultural commentary and creative use of medium, Kate Jessop’s work reaffirms that there are no limits in animation storytelling, not even it comes to feline musings! So put on your 3D glasses and get ready for some fur-tastic animation exploration, because this is one research we’re definitely meow-d about!
Unfurling Feline Perspectives on Lesbian Owners in ‘Planet Pussy Willow’s’ Latest Comedy Sketch. This innovative episode of the adult animation web series, crafted by writer-animator Kate Jessop, offers a humorous take on societal norms.
‘Planet Pussy Willow’ charms viewers with its satirical representation of mainstream white heteronormative society. It employs sci-fi as an instrument of cultural critique, positioning itself in the realms of feminist sci-fi, adult animation, and sketch comedy.
Animation director Kate Jessop masterfully converts real life happenings into ludicrous scenarios. These include ‘Smile’, which pushes male builders into the role of feminist supporters, and ‘Astronaut’, portraying how the first Martian visitor reacts to questions about missing her boyfriend.
Jessop’s distinctive approach of merging animated cut-outs with live actors against a green screen transports viewers to the imaginary planet of Pussy Willow, abounding with queer, feminist and absurdist themes. This elicits a hilariously accurate reflection of the modern world.
In its previous guise as ‘Tales From Pussy Willow’, the series has been recognized by Berlinale Talent Lab, drawing distribution contracts with REVRY, Twisted Mirror, and QueerBee. It has received several awards including Best Comedy and LGBTQ series at the London Short Series Festival, Best Low Budget at the London Short Film festival, and Best Animation at the Gilbert Baker Film Festival and Women’s Worldwide Film Festivals.
I orbit around comedy writing as a tool for understanding the world. While the series is undeniably witty, it doesn’t shy away from addressing grave issues such as misogyny and catcalling. I envision myself as simply reflecting societal behavior and challenging wrongdoings. The shared experiences of viewers continue to astonish me.
