Awesome Rats

Members of the 2020 graduating class from École des Nouvelles Images created this imaginative CG animated short about two hungry lab rats who get their claws on a hallucinogenic mushroom, and the chaos that ensues in the laboratory after their unintended drug trip.

This little critter may be small, but his voice is mighty. Thanks to animator Joe Vevers, we now know what Bohemian Rhapsody might have been like if it only starred furry little creatures. Magnifico!

After seeing Pizza Rat go viral, the guys from New York Magazine decided to conduct a completely non-scientific test to see which of the city’s finest pizzerias was preferred by the rodents. Next time we’re in NYC, we know where we’re eating. And what park to avoid.

The natural order of things doesn’t always work, as is demonstrated in this video of a fat-ass rat taking on not one, not two, not three, not four, but five alley cats. Guess who wins?
