I'm glad you enjoyed at least a part of it. I'm not really sure at which point the squirrels become ominous, I swear most of them look cute under proper lighting. It probably had something to do with the palace (the art department) not paying (not having time to) the candle bill (work on proper lighting) in time (before the jam deadline).

I think it's the fact that the music suddenly stops, and a squirrel emerges from the shadows, and stay completely covered by shadows, and it has dark still eyes that stare into my soul.. And then suddenly a dialogue "Please don't hurt me". I guess it was several combined factors.
