THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE is a rotoscope animated short film directed by Evan Kadoch and produced by Stressed Panda Productions. This micro short draws inspiration from decades of cartoons and the long-standing traditions of hand-crafted animation.The short film was created over 10 months as a tribute to the tradition of handmade animation and the dedication of independent filmmakers.

"THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE is my animated rotoscope-based micro short I created over the course of 10 months. Over the course of the project’s development, I saw the rise of AI content quickly filling up our feeds in 'reel' time. I quickly grew to hate those posts, but that only encouraged me to further create THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE, which only exists because of the art of humanities who came before it. Throughout my entire life I have been watching various cartoons, which inspired me to attempt creating my own. My admiration for these creatives has grown further, seeing all the hard work and dedication poured into their projects as well as seeing how difficult it is to create one (exponentially so at large scale!). After 10 months of work, I'm finally releasing it, 'but I'd like to thank the shows that drove me crazy, and all the televisions out there that raised me.' — Lupe Fiasco, almost. AI was not used to make this. I did." -- Evan Kadoch
