A tabby called Buzz leaves his country home to seek adventure in the big city and learns that all roads lead home. The 89-second short that introduced the character, made with the early-2024 pipeline: Midjourney V6 stills upscaled in Magnific, animated in Runway Gen-2, Pika and Haiper, with ElevenLabs voices, cut in Premiere. Buzz went on to headline a run of genre tributes, from [The Thing](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/frostbite-the-thing-tribute) to [Die Hard](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/claw-hard-die-hard-tribute).
