Need help naming this (flash) animation

I suck at creating titles, and I won't deny it-- I'm just unable to come up with ANYTHING. But I do need to finish this for school, so... need one now.

Here's the animation in its slightly unfinished flash version (the more finished version is .mov and therefore too large for me to justify uploading to the 'net.)

http://tsuki-ryuu.net/bringitondown.swf

The cat is Rena, the Octipus is Mr Scary Octopus. They're both characters in the rather bizarre comic I'm working on in which Rena is the embodiment of all darkness, and this other cat character Zuui is attempting to take over the world with Rena's magical abilities... too bad Rena is a complete and total idiot. That's the gist of it, really. Only with a lot more lasers.

So, can anyone think of anything? I kind've need to finish this relatively quickly...

(Note: my first 2-d animation, hence the... choppy... ness...)

Hmm... How about "Prankster"? I'm not sure, but that's all that came to mind.

Good luck. :)

My mom suggested "Sneaky Mr Octopus"... odd how similar those two are. e_e;

And thanks. :3 I need all the luck I can get. x_x;

Well that's one of the best sentences I've read all week. So I suggest you call it "Only with a lot more lasers" ;0)

Best of luck :0)

"Such is life..."

I like the way she gets up, dusts herself off, and goes on about her business.

I dunno...I'm not too good at this sort of thing. :oops:

"Who cares..."

That was the first thing that came to mind as I saw the way she shrugged after picking herself up. But I suck at titles. I have the same problem with not finding any for my stories. *sigh*

How about 'Behind you...'

Admittedly, its lame, but i just liked the bit when Mr Octopus snuk (sp?? is it even a word?) up behind Rena and she didn't really see.

I think you should merge EofSs suggestion with chocolatefairys

"Such is life... only with a lot more lasers"

"Well, that was strange..."

That was all I can come up with, but when I watched it I imagined the cat thinking that to herself. *laugh* It's a nice little animation though, very cute.

There's a phrase we use to joke about people who are lying about how they got all beat up or cut or run over which partially might also suit your animation:

"I was just mindin' my own business when all of a sudden, for no reason, these TWO guys just attacked me."

It's always those two guys. If the police ever catch those two guys, the crime rate will drop dramatically.

So I was thinking:
"Just minding my own business, when all of a sudden..."
