The Other Large Thing

I also loved the animations in this episode. So far the technical compartment of the series is very high, and I am really happy about that.

The story of this episode is really intriguing and kept me in suspense (literally) making me wonder what would happen next. The writing of this story was really good and the character of the cat was also well written in my opinion.

The only flaws for me were the length and pace of the episode. In fact 8 minutes was too short for me and this was reflected in the second flaw. Because of the length in fact the pace was too fast in my opinion. The conclusion for me was a bit rushed and could have been done more calmly.

In conclusion, however, it is not a bad episode, in fact it is enjoyable and beautiful to watch. It's just a shame about the duration and the pace of the story. Otherwise it is well done!

Told entirely from the perspective of a cat, the story follows an unexpected alliance between said feline and a household robot - both growing increasingly aware of their roles in a human-dominated world. Together, they plot to overthrow their masters, and the result is both darkly amusing and strangely profound.

The concept alone deserves credit - it's not every day you get a story about domestic rebellion led by a cat and a robot. The writing leans into the cat's aloof yet cunning personality, which adds a unique and often humorous lens to the events. The robot, meanwhile, provides a more structured, logic-based foil, creating a fun dynamic between the two unlikely revolutionaries.

Visually, it's clean and creative, with a muted palette that suits the story's subdued mood. While the pacing can feel a little slow in places, the originality and perspective more than make up for it. It's not perfect, but it sticks with you - which is more than can be said for a lot of shorts in the same genre.

A clever and oddly moving watch. Solid 7.5/10.

An a-mew-sing short, definitely, but not one that stands up to much thought -- mainly regarding the attitude of the too-helpful robot; if it wasn't a well-established trope that humans should never create 'bots without a built-in failsafe against destroying their creators, it would still be close to the fur-st thought to enter the viewers' minds upon watching this cat-fancying cartoon fantasy.

On the paws-itive side, while it does feel too short and makes you ponder what a feature version might en-tail, it doesn't cross the fe-line into being an obviously kibbled-together "proof-of-concept" project.

I would've never guessed it, but "The Other Large Thing" is undoubtedly one of the better episodes this season. Was it a masterpiece? No, but it was decent enough for me to like.

Animation is stellar as usual. The character designs of the human owners were ridiculously disgusting. The animators did a phenomenal job of making every single shot of them as displeasing to the eye as possible. I loved it. Aside from the humans, the other characters, especially Thumb Bringer, had designs that encapsulated their personalities perfectly.

Voice acting, which isn't usually a core factor of Love, Death & Robots, was exceptionally strong in this one. Paired with the humorous script, it makes for the only genuinely funny episode in all of Season 4.

This joke has been done to death. You can guess the entirety of the episode after the first line is being delivered. That to me means it is way too generic, predictable, and with that, has nothing to keep me invested or interested. The animation is decent, I'll give it that, but the story itself is dull to watch, if you expect something with a twist or a wow-factor. It is not horrible, but I am always expecting every episode to deliver something where I could go "wow", as in season 1, and 2, you had those, so I was always hoping - unfortunately, in vain. It never happened in this episode or the next...the one after...and so on. This one is akin to a cat meme Debbie would send you in the office.
