My Dog Tulip
In Attendance: Norman Twain
MY DOG TULIP, the animated feature debut by Paul and Sandra Fierlinger (both recipients of the prestigious Peabody Award, and both closely associated with PBS adult animation fare for the past 15 years), is based on the celebrated novel of the same name by J.R Ackerley.
Christopher Plummer, Lynn Redgrave, Isabella Rosselini, Brian Murray, Paul Hecht, Peter Gerety, and Euan Morton all lend their voices for the film, a bittersweet retrospective account of the fourteen-year relationship between Ackerley and his beloved dog, Tulip. When Ackerley (not a dog lover) adopted Tulip, he never expected she would become the love of his life and the companion he had been searching for in vain for years. In vivid and startling detail, the film shows Tulip’s often erratic behavior, canine tastes, and Ackerley’s determined efforts to ensure an existence of perfect happiness for her.
Two years in the making, MY DOG TULIP is the first animated feature ever to be entirely hand drawn and painted utilizing paperless computer technology.
