Tommy and Rollo

Tommy and Rollo

Project Overview

2D animated film, full color. Approximately 5 minutes long in total. 

The story is about Tommy, a little boy, and his dog Rollo, who is supposed to be a guard dog. Both Tommy and Rollo are struggling to be themselves under the oppressive presence of Tommy's father, Mitch.
