Mascot

Animated short film

KIM Leeha [South Korea]

Outline

The work expressed the despair and pain of young people at the present day by depicting a fox who wants to become a mascot for the city. Living in a tiny apartment and working many part-time jobs while going to a training academy, the fox borrows money for plastic surgery to look like a puppy but fails an audition. A 3DCG animation with a striking contrast between the content and the cute visual reminiscent of a children’s picture book.
