Steve Rudzinski is a micro-budget filmmaker that excels in taking what little is given him and finding creative ways to stretch it to the breaking point. He is also a writer/director that is never limited by genre. While he has done many horror films, he's also dabbled in family adventure films, action, and now the talking- animal-holiday genre.

Meowy Christmas is clearly spoofing many things seen in the talking animal genre, but definitely takes a unique approach to it. The set- up for the plot is funny with Mr. Whiskers watching online conspiracy videos and being egged on by Chuck the Rat. Wally is very much in the Ernest P. Worrell vein of protagonists, where he might be dumb as a rock but he has a lot of heart and is legitimately trying his best.

The film is funny and very appropriate for the whole family. It has a quick run time that is under an hour, so it isn't wasting time with lots of filler. Last point I wanted to make was Blake O'Donnell who was the shining star of this film as Larry. He was hilarious with perfect timing and stellar physical humor. Keep an eye out for him!
