Buta appeared to be made in mind for younger audiences with the comedy-adventure mix and the use of anthropomorphized animals exploring a samurai pig and young fox's adventure to retrieve a treasure map from pirates. The short has enough time to lay out the basic structure of its plot and devote some moments to exploring the chemistry between the pig and fox, though it is nothing too memorable for older audiences to get latched on and the running gag of the pig samurai's fear of cats did not hook me in too well. Overall, Buda seems like a short that would be more likely to grab the attention of younger audiences as it seems to have nothing of value for older audiences.
