Animation test for "The Black Knight", an aborted animated feature film project by Genndy Tartakovsky (2019).
The story of a 20 feet high Knight Armor controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers. The setting is around the 14th century.

![Text from left to right. Top row then bottom row ->
Debt (An older, middle aged Meowscarada wearing a choice band): "Everyone loves middle aged cat men. I should know, I ALSO love middle aged cat men~"
Taxes (a currently not-so middle aged Purrloin, clueless to advances):
"Really? Wow. I'll have to remember that when I'm middle aged, thanks!"
(20-39 with optimistic expectations for his life span, apparently)
Taxes (thinking): "I think i'm gonna base my entire personality on this guy..."
Earth (a Sawk): "Burn this is the 27th time we've captured him, he's just going to flower trick out again--"
Burn (a Throh): "Aw come on Earth, it'd be too obvious! He wouldn't do it for the 28th time!"
Debt: "Flower Trick."
Earth: "WHAT A TRICKSTER!!!!!"
Taxes: "The thing with the flower! Teach me that! We can BOTH get out~!"
Debt (wondering why Taxes needs Flower Trick when he can just use assist to copy the move): "Wha? Can't you already... eh screw it, I'll see what I can do."
[pointing at Taxes] (Just likes the idea that he can become taller if he tries)
Taxes: "Great work distracting that guy, I managed to sneak off and get the prison plans~"
Debt (having just blown the guards for fun): "Wha? Why'd ya do that? I was just gonna blow the--...great job!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ggdcjcmdua3blcinmzl7p2s/bafkreibe7gri6tm5ensg7brobgfmxgoozw3cs2jl7rdy2d2l5lxq4iyrla)
