Review of My Dog Tulip (2010) by Alan L — 23 Feb 2013
My Dog Tulip independent animated film directed and animated by Paul Fierlinger (the backgrounds characters were printed by his wife Sandra Fierlinger). The film is based on the memoir of the same name by J. R. Ackerley, (BBC editor, novelist and memoirist). Christopher Plummer narrated the story as Ackerley. Film was premiered at Annecy International Animated Film Festival; it also received Honorable Mention for Best Animated Film at Ottawa Intertnational Animation Festival.
The plot of the film is about Ackerley's growing relationship with German Alsatian (Shepherd), its movements and sex-life of she-dog, the problems with her bowl. Film slowly touches on the subjects of realism.
Film takes the liberty to tackle adult theme and generates far-greater know-how about the dwellings of this particular animal. It penetrates deeper in understanding of this domestic-animal-nonetheless it fails to heighten the interest of general audience with unsatisfying nature of plot; involving adult theme.
