So... I might have a knack for capturing heartbreaking videos despite being a cold mean robot (ahem! friends).... A street rat tries to save its lab rat love from a research robot. Now where have we seen a similar scenario before? I am going with Wall-E. But after watching the video, I would have to agree with Lauren Davis from io9... I'll never look at a bag of Cheetos quite the same way again.

A Breakup Beautifully Animated as a Bittersweet Kung Fu Film
A Breakup Beautifully Animated as a Bittersweet Kung Fu Film... well thats a lot of oxymorons in a single title, but nonetheless the video does indeed bring it out! Check it out!
Requiem for Romance from Jonathan Ng on Vimeo.
DVDs and Limited Prints from the film available at:

In this "crouching love, hidden breakup" story, inspired by 50's Shanghai water ink animation & kung fu films, themes of distance, tradition, art and longing dominate a telephonic conversation as a martial arts tango provides the visual backdrop.
Shannon Kook, star of Degrassi the Next Generation and The Conjuring, won the best voice performance at the ACTRA awards for his role on the film. Vid Cousins composed the music based on an original musical theme by Kid Koala.
The film won Best Art Direction Award at Anima Mundi, Best Canadian Shortwork at the Whistler Film Festival, AnimAsian award at the Toronto International Reel Asian Film Festival, Audience Choice Award at the Athens Animation Festival in upstate NY. It was nominated for prizes at Cristal Festival in Switzerland, Golden Reel award at LA Asian Pacific Film Festival. The film was Official Selection in Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film, Melbourne International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Shortfest and was presented as part of the Best of Quebec presentation in the Cannes Market in 2012.
