This is the best Welsh language short I have ever watched!!

...and at this point it's the ONLY Welsh language short I have seen! But because it was so well made, so funny and so memorable, I plan on seeking out more of these terrific short animations from Dana Dorian.

The film begins with a beautifully rendered CGI scene that looks comparable in quality to a lot of the output from Pixar and Dreamworks. A guy is speaking Welsh--telling his dog to fetch. Even if you don't speak Welsh, it has English subtitles and it's pretty obvious what is happening. I love the expression on the dog--he obviously wants nothing to do with the demeaning practice of fetching--and in the end he gets his sick and cruel revenge.

Clever and right to the point--this is an amazing film that you must see.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
