What I’m amazed at is how closely similar this is to John Hubley’s 1959 ‘Moonbird’.

Not only is the title the same, but the whole visual aesthetic is so incredibly similar (scribbly chalk-like white lines on a black background) that I actually couldn’t believe that this wasn’t a homage or an intentional sequel or remake.

They claim on their site that they had no idea and go on to list lots of other examples of people independently coming up with the idea of a moonbird in culture and I’m inclined to believe them, but it’s a very spooky and interesting coincidence.
