The Making of Save Ralph

A behind-the-scenes look at SAVE RALPH, written and directed by Spencer Susser (Hesher, The Greatest Showman) in support of Humane Society International’s global campaign to end cosmetic testing on animals.

Step inside the studio for a quick look at the detailed stop-motion animation process behind this intricately powerful short film, SAVE RALPH. Created by Spencer Susser and frequent Wes Anderson/Tim Burton set designer and puppet maker Andy Gent (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch, The Corpse Bride), this behind-the-scenes video also features never before seen footage of the film’s voice stars including Taika Waititi, Ricky Gervais, Zac Efron, Olivia Munn, Pom Klementieff and Tricia Helfer uniting together to support Humane Society International’s #SaveRalph campaign to end cosmetic animal testing globally. This video also features Save Ralph filmmakers Tobias Fouracre (lead animator), Tristan Oliver (director of photography) and Donna Gadomski (executive producer).

Everyone shared the ralph on social media, but it was forgotten after a week. We see that those who love are quickly forgotten...

People working with stop motion has (edit: HAVE) the highest level of patience.

The film really made me pay more attention to my cosmetic products. Definitely won’t be buying anything anymore that isn’t 100% cruelty free. My own bunny means the world to me and it would crush me if he endured anything that lab bunnies are forced to do.

The saddest thing about this is that people with probably pass this off as a trend and forget it in a week or so.😔😞☹😕🙁

[rock]

sad animation that fortunately had a repercussion and I hope that companies stop this cruelty. job well done, let's fight for others to save like Ralph

[Splotchy_beans]

Rare to see traditional stop motion in this era this was really high quality

[EUNA.]

Can we not only save ralph? *Let's save his friends, family, and the other animals that are used to test products too.*

[lucidsoapy]

The sad thing is that they might not be able to make a “ Ralph is Safe” short film....

[naonoodle]

I adore stop motion, and Save Ralph made me go 100% cruelty free. Thank you.

Imagine if it will be made another video with ralph being saved and then saying “Now u can save more animals”.

[mikhailazmistry]

God bless these guys, i mean seriously this movie should make all the difference.

[sugarcake]

I never knew products were being tested on animals so when I saw the animation I cried because I didn't know they did this to animals and it hurts realizing it and the fact that I and some people can't do anything about it truly makes us feel useless

[bonecag]

This short has been stuck in my head since I first watched it. It was the final push I needed to stop buying products from companies that test on animals or support it. Thank you so much for making Save Ralph and I hope it affects many more people!

[echogapa]

Can't believe it's actually a stop motion, the animation is so good.

[kmdorf]

TE fact people take time just to do this, Shows how much they care!

[Em-.-]

Save Ralph is such a beautiful film. It helped me understand what really happens in animal testing. Thank you for making Save Ralph, and thank you for showing us a little look into the making of save Ralph.

Save Ralph made me realize that the world is more cruel than I thought and no wonder people don’t want robots to take over the world cause the robots will treat us like we treat animals
