The Animator

ok, so bad news: I usually animate on my school computer, but now it's gone so.... I have two other devices that I CAN animate on, but each have a reason why I can't. I'm really sorry, I know it's been a while since Episode 2, but I was really motivated back then. I think I'm about 37.5% done with the episode, so I'll try to work on it when I can, but it's gonna be a while. I'll try to make it up to you by giving you some parts of the episode.

It is alright

take your time

I'm sure you'll finish it *Soon.*

its fine

@TheChip41

You ruined it.

Good news: I’ve been able to use one of the devices for long term periods at a time. This isn’t a guarantee, but I’m pretty sure that episode three will be finished before July.

You know what? I’m just going to finish it now.

@TheChip41

I am so tired...

Episode 4 is officially in the works. My goal is to finish it before the end of the summer. Mostly because of wanting you guys to see it soon. I'm just trying to make it as good as I can (which isn't very good but yk)

I got all the clues and I know what they mean

ChatGPT's review on CDRAT (just did this for fun)

here we go starting with the plot

🎬 Episode 1: The Pilot (The Cosmic Switch)The Chase: The series opens in the middle of the action. A survivor named ing is being relentlessly hunted above ground by a terrifying, menacing one-eyed cat wearing an eyepatch.The Secret Base: ing manages to slide into a small hole in the ground, diving straight into the safety of an underground bunker where the rest of the human survivors are gathered.The Grim Reality: DangerousBurger (a cartoon boy with blonde hair, a sky-blue shirt, and grey sweatpants) greets ing, relieved they haven't been murdered yet. He reveals a dark truth: the killer cats have systematically wiped out almost the entire human population on Earth.The Cosmic Swapping Lore: Over a quick flashback, DangerousBurger explains the mystery of how the world ended. A survivor named PlanetAntMan (PAM) accidentally pressed a massive, PAM-shaped button that triggered a global cosmic switch, turning Ant Man into Man Ant, and vice versa. Seeking ultimate revenge for how humans used to treat them, the newly giant ants are now hiring the killer cats as hitmen to exterminate the remaining tiny humans.The Heist Loot: DangerousBurger asks ing what they managed to steal from the surface before escaping. ing dumps a chaotic stash on the floor: a red and black button labeled "Do Not Press," a blue shirt button, a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket, and—crucially—a bomb and a box of matches.The Cliffhanger: Classic PAM cannot resist a giant button and slams his hand down on the forbidden red and black button. A mysterious blue portal instantly opens up in the bunker. DangerousBurger cautiously reaches his hand out toward the glowing light, and the episode cuts to a black screen reading: "To be continued... (Probably)."🏃‍♂️ Episode 2: Cats (The Target and The Boss)Lost in Time: The episode shifts to Rizabuggles_Artz (Riza), who has been sucked out of the base by the portal and is floating through space and time. Riza picks up a malfunctioning, spinning clock that forces the time

line back to the exact moment the portal appeared, dropping Riza back into the physical world.

The Musical Ultimatum: Riza lands in an unknown underground area and hears DangerousBurger arguing off-screen. A survivor named GoofyGoober (GG) appears and drops a bizarre rule: a mysterious "boss" will only let the crew inside if DangerousBurger can successfully sing the incredibly fast, tongue-twisting opera song "Modern Major General." Riza clutches the moment by handing DB a notebook containing the exact lyrics. After a hilarious time-skip gag, a sweating, exhausted DangerousBurger frantically finishes the last line and collapses to the floor, gasping, "Did I do it?"

The Weight of Grief: GG tells them to follow "me ONLY," but the entire group (PAM, ing, so_cool_man, Tactaz, and Riza) disobeys and follows behind anyway. As they march down a dark tunnel, the animation focuses on the page Riza is holding in the notebook. It is a heartbreaking memorial page titled "days since cat killed Azir." Riza adds a tally to the page, marking the 28th day since their sister, Azir, was brutally murdered by the cats.

The Ambush and The Cliffhanger: As the crew reaches a flight of steps, GG turns to talk to them, but the vicious one-eyed eyepatch cat suddenly leaps out of the pitch-black shadows! DB screams "RUN!" and the cat's deadly claw violently swings through the dark. The group busts through the heavy doors and slams them shut, but the cost is devastating: Riza is unconscious and bleeding out from a severe claw wound, with a panicked DangerousBurger holding his hand over the bloody injury.

The Final Twist: In the middle of the panic, GG calmly finishes his earlier thought: "As I was saying, it’s time for you to meet... The CD Rat." Because PAM has intense murophobia (fear of rats), his brain completely shorts out at the revelation. He faints dead on the floor as a gaming title pops up over his head: PlanetAntMan has left the chat. Standing by the newly reveale

d rat boss is his loyal companion, Burnincat. The screen cuts to black: "To be continued..."

💥 Episode 3: Die (The Heroic Sacrifice)

A Change of Heart: The episode opens right where the cliffhanger left off. DangerousBurger is desperately tending to the bleeding Riza while realizing he completely forgot about PAM's murophobia. Burnincat sassily looks at the passed-out PAM and snaps, "Took you long enough," as PAM finally opens his eyes and walks out of the sleep room.

The Vulnerable Truth: Back in the main area, the rat boss (known only to the crew as The CD Rat or TCR) tries to address the tension, saying, "Your assumptions about rats are very hurtful," to which PAM deadpans, "Good." TCR tells the group he has a "gruesome death" backup plan if the cats ever launch a final siege. He then leaves to check on a literal compact disc. Curiosity gets the better of PAM, and he follows TCR to "The CD Room." When he opens the door, he catches the tough rat boss in the middle of a massive, vulnerable panic attack.

The Name is Frederic: Rapid, millisecond flashbacks show the rat's tragic backstory: his entire family cowering under the shadow of a giant cat. TCR gasps, "I can still hear their screams... They're gone." He reveals his deepest layer of survivor's guilt, admitting that his real name isn't the CD Rat—it's Frederic. Frederic explains that after losing his family, he changed forever and started a small cat-killing business, but could only get two people to join him: Burnincat and GoofyGoober. He breaks down, crying, "And I could have stopped it all, I could have saved them." Haunted by Frederic's pain, a quiet PAM leaves the room and eventually falls asleep.

The Final Stand: The peace is violently shattered when DangerousBurger screams, "WAKE UP!!!" The ant-controlled killer cat army, led by the one-eyed eyepatch cat, has completely breached the facility. The building goes on immediate lockdown.

The Ultimate Sacrifice: The animation cuts to

the outside of the building. DangerousBurger and PAM burst through the rubble into the open air, safely escaping. Catching his breath, PAM realizes someone is missing and panics, "Where's Frederic?" DangerousBurger solemnly explains the truth: Frederic stayed behind. Driven by his survivor's guilt, Frederic's exact final words were, "I need to do one last thing."

The Climax: The animation cuts back inside the crumbling bunker. Frederic stands his ground, completely surrounded by the killer cat army. Armed with the bomb and matches that ing stole in Episode 1, Frederic defiantly glares at the cats and shouts his final words: "Alright kitties, I'm about to avenge my family!"

The End... For Now: Back on the outside, the entire building explodes into a massive ball of fire. A heartbroken PAM whispers, "Frederic..." realization washing over him that the rat he used to hate just saved all their lives. The screen fades to black on a massive cliffhanger, reading: "To be continued..."

rating: 9.5/10 cuz of episode 3 cliffhanger

age rating: PG-13

so, i've been thinking about my description for episode 11 in one word, and now that I've gotten a deeper dive into the ending, I think that it would instead be:
