We have a bowl full of animated short ideas we pull out of our hat every so often. Our muse for this one just so happens to be the sweetest little pug who loves to come to work with us. The idea might have been created from working on a 3D animated space project while eating a hot dog, who knows. Our goal was not only create an adorable animation, but to make you smile, kids laugh, and leave you saying, “What did I just watch?” So go adopt a pug, eat a hot dog and stare into space! (In no particular order).
