The Frog, the Dog and the Devil (1986) [Short]

New Zealand (MIFF1987)
Director: Bob Stenhouse

The Frog. The Dog And The Devil is the retelling of a ballad about a High Country shepherd who believes he is being pursued by the Devil. The frog and the dog of the title accompany him on his flight. The animation is a return to traditional forms, although the story is far from Disney. The Dolby soundtrack is sensational. Academy Award nominee for best animation.
