Dream Doll
(Redirected from Dream Doll (1979 film))
Dream Doll (Croatian: Lutka snova) is a 1979 British–Yugoslavian animated short film by Bob Godfrey and Zlatko Grgić as a co-production between Zagreb Film and Bob Godfrey Films. The authors shared similar art styles and animation philosophies such as using absurdist gags and disheveled drawings.[1]
Plot
Dream Doll is a film with erotic overtones in which a gentleman falls in love with a sex doll.[2] The short ends with the man "born aloft by the flocks of dolls" as a deliberate parody of Disney's Peter Pan.[3] Dream Doll is cited as one of Godfrey's most prominent works,[4] although it also could be an homage to Albert Lamorisse's The Red Balloon.
Reception
The short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1980.[1]
