Animated, animating cat coming to DS

Komaneko is a stop-motion cartoon about a cat -- who creates stop-motion cartoons. What started as a five-minute short became a full-length film starring the cute orange cat. And this strangely self-referential character is now the subject of a DS game, Komaneko DS.

The communication game or ("Koma 'nya' -cation game" as the website puts it) is a virtual picture book, with text descriptions on the top screen of what is happening on the bottom screen. Koma chats with her friends, exchanges items, and plays minigames for a chance at more items. Koma can also take pictures, which players can trade wirelessly with their friends. We aren't sure if you're able to animate the photos, but we would expect some explicit reference to be made to the animation hobby.
