Lorenzo is a 2004 American animated short film directed by Mike Gabriel and produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. Adapted from a shelved 1949 idea by Joe Grant, the story follows an arrogant, fluffy cat whose tail becomes magically separated from his control after an encounter with a mystical poodle. The short combines 2D character animation with 3D environments to showcase the chaotic, tango-driven conflict between the cat and his independent appendage.
