Popcorn by Souther Salazar
"I went outside to play around with some animation tests on a beautiful day when there was a little break in the rainy weather. A small stray cat I had recently adopted, named Popcorn, kept invading and investigating everything I tried to do, so I eventually gave in and decided to follow him around instead. He was so restless that I thought it would be funny if his curiosity was never satisfied, and he ended up narrowly missing each little magic moment as he explored the wild backyard. The music is a lost classic by guitarist Don R. Auten, that I became obsessed with listening to during this same stretch of rainy days." — Souther Salazar
