Based on BBC editor and author J.R. Ackerley’s memoirs with the same title, this animated feature film depicts the fifteen-year-old friendship of him and his dog Tulip in the most realistic way. Just like the book itself, My Dog Tulip introduces Tulip with all its “dogness”, giving the most anatomical and sexual details. Accompanied by Christopher Plummer’s voice with a strong, cheeky British humor, the film was created with a hand-made digital animation technique.

Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
