''The Summoning'' is an animated short created by Elyse Castro and distributed by Creator/FrederatorStudios’ “Cartoon Hangover” outlet. It started out as a series of comics. The series follows Claire, a young cat[[note]]originally intended to be a wood elf, but her appearance led to fans considering her to be a CatGirl, and Castro later [[AscendedFanon officially labelled her as one]][[/note]] witch who lives with her pet cat, Edgar. She’s constantly trying to summon new entities, but it doesn’t always work out the way she wants it to, usually due to missing a key ingredient. The aesthetic of the series is oftentimes compared favorably to ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Chowder}}'', or mid-2000s Creator/CartoonNetwork animated series in general. As of now, there’s only one episode of the animated adaptation, but Elyse Castro has confirmed that she is attempting to pitch a full series.
