What happens

The House is a 2022 British stop-motion adult animated anthology television special created by Enda Walsh. The production is divided into three chapters telling different stories spanning different worlds, interior designs, and characters (consisting of humans, anthropomorphic rodents and insects, and felines) in the same house; each story deals with themes of madness, wealth, and the pursuit of true happiness. Originally announced as an anthology miniseries, owing to its short length, it became a television special. Produced for Netflix by Nexus Studios in London, it tells three chapters respectively directed by the duo of Emma de Swaef and Marc James Roels, Niki Lindroth von Bahr, and Paloma Baeza; the directors are credited with the story of their respective segments, with Johannes Nyholm as co-writer for the second.
