Sweet and Sour

This animation about a dog in Chinatown was a winner at the Sydney Film Festival. It's good.

The film was conceived by Eddie White  who named his animation studio the People’s Republic of Animation.  The idea quickly took root but White discovered he needed some help.  Enter the Shanghai Animation Studio.Renowned the world over for their exquisite hand-drawn work, they created the amazing effects work you see in the movie. Sweet and Sour has the claim, then, of being the very first Chinese-Australian animated co-production.The Australian team took care of the 3D animation with the Shanghai studio contributing the hand-drawn traditional work. The combination of the old and new is brought together with stunning effect.

‘The Parade’

‘The Parade’

The streets of the city are a non-stop parade of humanity. It’s a kind of grand, unchoreographed ballet of human locomotion. One of the great pleasures and measures of being urban is losing yourself in the crowd, with your feet and mind wandering, alone in your head but elbow to elbow with an inexhaustible supply of strangers.

This bear reminds me of Mr. Nag, not the accidental killing, tranquilizer darts and jail, just the vodka loving part.
