This short animated film is a beautiful story of a young boy who gets a three-legged dog as a present from his mom. Instead of reacting happily, the boy is upset with his new dog and chooses to ignore him…until something happens to change his mind. You’ll have to watch to the end to see why this film is raking in the awards.
“The Present” is based on a comic strip by the very talented Fabio Coala and was adapted and animated for screen by Jacob Frey for his school thesis. It’s been screened at over 180 film festivals around the world and has won 50 awards.
