Plymptoons Posts Oscar-Nominated Guard Dog On YouTube

Posted on by

Plymptoons, the animation studio founded by legendary studio Bill Plympton, has posted the legendary Guard Dog short on YouTube.

One of Bill Plympton’s most recognizable shorts and characters, Guard Dog, was inspired by a simple walk in the park. This endearing icon has stolen the hearts of many all around the world, leading to a tidal wave of recognition including an Oscar nom for Best Animated short.

It screened before “Hair High” – Another whacky, comedic, hand-drawn feature by Bill, and then went on tour in The Animation Show. Roughly ten years later, the short was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2015. Truly, a history-making project for Mr. Plympton, Guard Dog has subsequently led to the production of a few puppies.
