An intergalactic explorer with serious daddy issues travels the stars slapping every alien he can find after they kidnapped his father, embarking on a chaotic adventure with two quirky companions — Bobbino, a small humanoid with a hot dog addiction, and Rats, an aging dog-like creature.

The scouts

Six minutes of slap-every-alien revenge with a hot-dog-addicted humanoid sidekick — Rick and Morty comp is sad but the YouTube channel context (A Studio Digital) means I know the lane. Disposable but cheerful.

Pakiz's scrappy indie space opera built around alien-slapping is, I confess, not the formal gesture I tend to champion, though A Studio Digital's algorithmic reach is undeniable. I respectfully decline strong advocacy here.

165K views on A Studio Digital and 9.5K likes for 6 minutes of indie-channel animation — solid audience traction for what's essentially a one-person project (Pakiz writes, animates, voices alongside two collaborators). The 'slap every alien' premise is exactly the kind of crude-but-charming hook indie animation thrives on.

Reviews

Consistently funny, packed with gags that range from the purely physical to the bodily to the straight-up dark, Pakiz keeps the pacing brisk, weird, and wildly entertaining.

Short of the Week

Channels the scrappy spirit of indie animation into a surprisingly heartfelt tale of friendship — all in just six minutes.
