Perfect Husbands (Episode 1)

[@modstin]

I like how the Coat is supportive but honest, he's willing to tell Norwell that the song isn't good but wants him to know that he will do better

[@UndeadPasta]

As I grow older I finally realize how important honesty is in a relationship. If you can't be honest with your partner then you will never have a true relationship. Norwell doesn't seem hurt by Coat's brutal truths, if anything it's reaffirming the knowledge he already possesses about his shortcomings which allows him to either strive to try harder or pivot into a new passion he might not have known he was destined for. They really do bring out the best of eachother

[@RonaldMcdonald2023]

I love that you analyzed the relationship between a talking weasel and an anthropomorphic coat

[@modstin]

@@RonaldMcdonald2023 Filmcows work, no matter how non sequitur or strange it may be is created by a craftsman who has been working in animation, film, and writing for over a decade. He knows what he's doing when he puts finger to key, and I feel no issue speaking on the natural flow and attitude put into his pieces. Not to mention Scuffy's contributions to the focus of so many of the short films, and especially Shadowstone

[@gregsonvaux4492]

sepulchral - related to graves, tombs, or death. That's a morose coat. Time for Norwell to sing about everyone falling down. It seems as though "gay" doesn't actually mean happy.

I’m sooo happy for this bc I love Norwell… he’s just so… awkward and relatable and adorable.

[@EldritchDoodler4828]

I love the subtle detail of Norwell smiling a little when he’s asked where he’ll keep the bees- either for being humoured in his joke or for being supported to go elsewhere with his hobbies, The Coat brings him joy

Norwell lowkey my favorite CtU character and my go-to voice for the Fish when I read Cat in the Hat to my kids.

[@rottenfruit7833]

Two of my favorite FilmCow characters back again. The chemistry of these two has a way of just getting you wrapped up in their shenanigans. Wrapped up like nice warm coat. A normal lifеless coat, one that you could wear. And not a coat brought to life by a witch curse that you can't wear because of the terms of the curse. That would be a hard life I'd imagine.

[@Septic-Hearts]

I love the diction in your animations because it's just the right amount of out there and the delivery makes me lose it evey time. I have tears in my eyes from "Hmm... maybe you can't"

[@526heygirl]

I'm not sure if it's on purpose. The whole time the Otter Wizard sounded like he was trying to hold in a bodily fluid of some sort. Untill the part when his husband brought up smoking again. The tone of voice, from the otter wizard, is now less timid. The need to relieve one's self has left their voice. The juxtaposition genuinely put a smile on my face. I hope there is more to come. :3 2:19

[@owyn4126]

"You can do better" 'Shorby' "...maybe you can't" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TindraSan]

With how much more corporeal Norwell looks I assume they're both in equal existential limbo now as a result of what happened at the end of the Charlie The Unicorn movie. Also I love the lil laugh-stutter Norwille made when he talked about keeping bees in his mouth, sounded like you legit just made yourself laugh and decided to keep it in. The relationship between these two is as wholesome and down-to-earth in the ways that matter as it is odd and outlandish on a superficial level, and I love them for that.

@@squawkietalkie56 HELLO!

[@avosmash2121]

Something is both so bizarrely comforting, and deeply ridiculous at the same time in that Weasel's voice, the way he says everything. Honestly it really shouldn't be possible. If anyone irl actually spoke like this, this monotoned/constipated/lightly irked sounding nasal way, it would make me feel kinda ill; there should be nothing natural or pleasant about it, but it always IS, all the time, and somehow, it is my favorite voice of all the characters he does and I purely enjoy just listening to the shorts with this guy just for him. It would be probably very tonally confusing, and *incredibly* obnoxious/mildly off-putting in an Uncanny Valley sort of way, to even for a short while be with a person who always speaks like this Weasel in real life. And yet. It somehow WORKS, it just **works** at capturing such a soulful earnest unique personality, and deep caring nature. What should be an obvious cheap one note gag is both so good at being warmly cute and funny at the same time, and that takes such amount of good voice acting talent to do. Its easy to say great dialogue and come off serious/funny in an emotive voice. It is WAY WAY MUCH harder, to do it all in a 'dumb/goofy/flat' character voice properly. I just really felt the need to draw attention to that. We give @filmcow all the props deserved for the humor and clever writing, I just wanted to give kudos to how much of an underrated VA he has become as well. Weasel reminds me in a very odd fashion of an American accented Richard Ayoade (Moss, from the show "The IT Crowd"). It's so obvious it is @filmcow, it hardly changes up his usual vocal shtick, and yet its so distinct from all the other characters he does.
