It was a surprise while watching the 2nd Cardcaptor Sakura movie for the first time, to find that the movie still had 10 minutes left after the credits. This was however 'Leave it to Kero!', a short film starring Kero's and Suppie. This short is mainly an excuse for these two goofball characters to go on hijinks. Cartoony, well animated, off the wall and filled with slapstick, it does that job perfectly. After the more serious and heartfelt main feature course, this is a sweet little dessert that Kero would gobble up in an instant.
If this was an episode in the show, it would be kinda ehhh, we already had an episode with Kero meeting Suppie, but the movie budget animation does wonders for the slapstick, Studio Madhouse going above and beyond here when they didn't need to. There's no deep…

I wasn't expecting this to be tacked on to the end of "The Sealed Card", but it was a nice surprise. It's basically a little animation expo and experiment, showing a story from Kero's point of view. Suitably, the animation is top-notch, not just from an "it looks like they did more frames" perspective, but from a "there's some remarkably good composition here" one. The sword-fight, the drain pipe, the chase after the bouncy-ball takoyaki, the reveal of the octopus piece. Just the choice to show the human characters at low angles in general.
I also appreciated the chance to see a bit more of Spinel. I never thought Eriol's familiars got enough screentime to be full characters in the main series.
This is a great short.

Nothing so ground-breaking with this short as it doesn't introduce anything new to the Cardcaptor Sakura universe proper either via its characters or plot, but it does deliver some cute enjoyment and comedy in the form of a rivalry they decided to revisit from the original series.
The story is simple, the art is consistent with what everyone has come to expect from the team working on Cardcaptor Sakura, the sound is fair, and it makes for a fun little romp.
About my only complaint would be that I wasn't particularly fond of the music choices, but that's just my opinion.
