Using 2D & 3D animation, "It's The Little Things" explores how daily rituals can hold the same sense of delight as a grand adventure, if only we take the time to notice them. Every detail on screen hints at an important piece of a larger world, just as every moment in a day is what makes up the whole of life or any season.

Deep Sky's first installment of its animated anthology It’s The Little Things - originally released as the 2022 holiday short. Our 2D film gained over 1M views and over 60K likes on Instagram and TikTok.

The short follows a homesteading frog settling in for a cozy evening in his log cabin during a mild and peaceful winter. Inspiration for the visual style is “cottagecore” aesthetics combined with our production team’s nostalgic perspective of their “coziest memories of winters spent at home.” Various works, including Over the Garden Wall, The Wind and the Willows, and Studio Ghibli’s famous food scenes, were also influential.
