What happens

TAMALA 2010: A Punk Cat in Space is a 2002 Japanese avant-garde animated film written, directed and featuring music by the two-person team t.o.L ("trees of Life"), known individually as K. and kuno. The film features both 2D and 3D computer animation, and is mostly black-and-white. The characters, designed by t.o.L and Kentarō Konpon, are reminiscent of Sanrio's Hello Kitty and 1960s anime and manga such as Astro Boy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
