My Dog Tulip

Animatus is also pleased to be a sponsor of MY DOG TULIP, a feature film from animators Paul and Sandra Fierlinger, with the voice talents of Christopher Plummer, the late Lynn Redgrave, and Isabella Rossellini. The story is a bittersweet retrospective account of author J. R. Ackerley’s 16-year relationship with his adopted Alsatian, Tulip.

Paul Fierlinger has produced over 800 films, including “Still Life with Animated Dogs” (produced for PBS) and the Academy Award nominated “It’s So Nice to Have a Wolf Around the House.” He and his wife Sandra were the sole artists on My Dog Tulip, which has a unique, hand-drawn style.
