Swedish-based animation studio Filmtecknarna F. Animation has produced a 90-second short for Cartoon Network entitled JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN MUSICAL EVOLUTION. The film is part of the Cartoon Network’s "Shorties" series. In the spot, classic Hanna-Barbera characters Josie and the Pussycats take viewers on a journey through musical styles including punk, country, disco, heavy metal and techno. The spot was directed by Jonas Odell and produced by Leila El-Zein. Craig "Sven" Gordon was the Cartoon Network creative director. Michael Kohler rearranged the PUSSYCAT theme song into each new style. Animation techniques such as cel, 2D and 3D GGI, cutouts and miniatures mixed with live-action elements were used. Jonas Odell previously directed the two "Shorties" ATOM ANT and JABBERJAW- LET’S DO LUNCH. Odell said, "It’s always fun to work this closely to a strong musical score, especially when it contains the last twenty years’ musical history that you’ve lived through, although I guess it’s pretty obvious that my knowledge of country music is kind of limited."
