Furries Are Easier to Draw | |
When the Day Breaks / int_183aadaf | comment |
Furries Are Easier to Draw: The animators went with barnyard animals after starting with humans but being unable to get a satisfactory look for the woman (the character that eventually became the pig). | |

Flashback | |
When the Day Breaks / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: One sequence goes back to the dead rooster's apartment and tells the story of his whole life through a series of photographs. He played hockey (like all good Canadians) when he was young. | |

World of Funny Animals | |
When the Day Breaks / int_8341ccb1 | comment |
World of Funny Animals: Animals acting as humans in a "human" world, but also setting up Furry Reminder gags. The rooster wears a hat shaped to accommodate his comb. The pig peels potatoes—and then eats only the peels, throwing the potatoes away. | |

Medium Blending: The short combines altered live-action footage with hand-drawn animation, with the animal characters rotoscoped over live actors. | |

Meet Cute | |
When the Day Breaks / int_a82ff02f | comment |
Meet Cute: Subverted. It seems like this is being set up when the rooster and pig run into each other at the grocery. But the rooster is haughty and offended when the pig causes him to lose a lemon—and then the rooster is struck and killed by a passing truck. | |

Decoy Protagonist | |
When the Day Breaks / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: It seems like the rooster will be the protagonist when the beginning of the cartoon follows him starting his day, but he's killed barely a third of the way through. | |
