The adorable Keanu tries his paw at some Oscar-nominated parody posters

Apparently it's the day for animals to let loose a bevy of parody posters spoofing a few of this weekend's Oscar nominees; the cast of ZOOTOPIA has their turn earlier today and now it's time for Keanu, the adorable kitten featured in the film which bares his name, to do the same. The upcoming action/comedy features the hilarious duo of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele and the entire movie is, according to Peele, basically "the most expensive adorable-kitten video of all time. Peele added that "overall it’s meant to satirize how pop culture paints masculinity and what it means to be African-American — and how many of us don’t fit into the mold expected of us.” 

Check out the posters below!

A synopsis for KEANU:

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, a.k.a. the hugely popular comedy duo Key & Peele, star as Clarence and Rell, two cousins who live in the city but are far from streetwise. When Rell’s beloved kitten, Keanu, is catnapped, the hopelessly straight-laced pair must impersonate ruthless killers in order to infiltrate a street gang and retrieve the purloined feline. But the incredibly adorable kitten becomes so coveted that the fight over his custody creates a gang war, forcing our two unwitting heroes to take the law into their own hands.

KEANU is set for a April 29, 2016 release.
