La Maison en Petits Cubes is a 2008 Japanese animated drama short film created by Kunio Katō, with music by Kenji Kondo and produced by Robot Communications and animated by Oh! Production.

Production

The concept for the film originated when Kunio Katō was studying at Tama Art University in Tokyo. It initially took the form of a painting featuring box-shaped houses arranged in stacks. During this time, Kunio was introduced to the world of animation when he watched Mark Baker's 1989 debut short film, The Hill Farm. This experience significantly influenced Kunio's creative direction.
