Why do some of today's wonderfully weird animals look like they were designed by a committee?

“This is the kind of short that makes you want to see more ..."

"COMMITTEE ANIMAL works because it knows exactly what kind of humor it’s aiming for and never apologizes for it. It’s wry, controlled, and confident in a grown-up way, trusting the audience to meet it halfway. As a proof of concept, it’s not just promising; it’s persuasive."

“It’s clever without being smug, satirical without being cynical, and funny without leaning on the easy, predictable punchlines. That balance is rare, especially in short-form comedy, and it speaks to a director who understands both rhythm and restraint.”

Committee Animal offers a twist on evolution: what if the quirkiest animals - like platypuses, giraffes, and armadillos - were the result of an overworked design committee battling red tape, tight deadlines, and supply chain shortages?

It’s a lighthearted, smart reimagining of how these wonderfully weird creatures came to be.

The animal kingdom will never be the same again.
