My Dog Tulip Trailer-HD

(Hi-Res Video -This may take a while to buffer)

Beautifully animated and featuring the voices of Christopher Plummer, the late Lynn Redgrave, and Isabella Rossellini, My Dog Tulip is a bittersweet retrospective account of author J. R. Ackerley's 16-year relationship with his adopted Alsatian bitch, Tulip.

The distinguished British man of letters, Ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when, well into middle age, he came to adopt Tulip -- a beautiful, yet intolerable 18-month-old German shepherd. To his surprise, she turned out to be the love of his life, the "ideal friend" he had been searching for in vain for so many years. In vivid and sometimes startling detail, the film reveals Tulip's sassy, often erratic behavior (and very canine tastes) and Ackerley's fumbling but determined efforts to ensure an existence of perfect happiness for her.

A profound and subtle mediation on the strangeness that lies at the heart of all relationships, My Dog Tulip was written, directed and animated by award-winning filmmakers Paul and Sandra Fierlinger and is the first animated feature ever to be entirely hand drawn and painted utilizing paperless computer technology.

Based on the book MY DOG TULIP by J. R. Ackerley. The book is available from New York Book Review at booksellers nationwide.

Christopher Plummer wad such an amazing actor because despite being a Canadian actor he was one of very few who could do a British accent really well

I have a 100 pound German Shepherd dog named Tyson. He acts just like the animation you see in the video. He's such a character.

"My dog offered me what I had never found in my life with humans. Constant, single hearted, incorruptible, uncritical devotion. Which is in the nature of dogs to offer."

This movie is beautiful but not ok for kids as there are many adult themes in it, whoever produced it has a great understanding of our 4 legged friends! Cheers!
