THAT'S WHY IT LOOKED LIKE A GAME!!
Back when I first saw the trailer, I instantly assumed it was a game, only to be surprised it was a movie.
The Eevee renderer uses tons of the same rendering techniques as game engines, to achieve its fast rendering speed.
I have to say, when I saw the trailer it absolutely did not make me want to watch the movie.
It looked exactly like an in-engine game cutscene, and that just felt really jarring to me, and visually distracting from enjoying the story.
Perhaps I should give it a try regardless.
It was a little jarring sometimes. The character animations specifically felt very video gamey, like they were being strung together and blended like video games to to allow simi-fluid animations with player freedom. Despite that distraction, the story was great, and the drama of the scenes were top notch.
Honestly I think it happening to a cat instead of a human really made a difference, because we've all watched humans fake drown or fake die a million times.
