About


What Squid Did is an animated series built around Squid, a rescue cat from Whiskers-A-GoGo in Brooklyn, NY, with a big personality and endless curiosity. What started as a real, slightly unhinged little creature slowly turned into a character and a place to play, experiment, and tell small stories. Squid is curious, stubborn, unbelievably sweet, and always interested in whatever he has decided is important that day. This usually leads to a lot of jobs he may or may not be qualified for.


Keenan Parry is an animator and technical artist with over fifteen years of experience in motion graphics, animation, and tool building. Alongside commercial and studio work, he has directed and shot narrative films as a director and cinematographer. His recent horror-comedy short film PLUCK has screened at the NYC Horror Film Festival and the Nightmares Film Festival.

What Squid Did is a personal project and a change of pace. It’s a space to work more directly, follow instincts, and let ideas develop through play rather than polish and explanation. The series uses Squid as both subject and collaborator, and as a way to explore animation that feels more immediate, character-led, and human.
