Catnap is a two-dimensional animated short film inspired by classic cartoons from the 1940s and uses some of the visual comic jokes from that era. Catnap features a cat named Benny who wants to return to his kitty dreamland but a dog named Jack obliviously disturbs Benny through silly antics. The story was inspired by Carrie Runyan’s cat, Benny, who has a sweet face but makes expressions like “Why do we have a dog’ and her dog, Jack, who accidentally steps on Benny because he lacks self-awareness.
