Many of the Pixar Shorts I have not yet seen I now can on Disney+. Dug is a perfect caricature of many dogs and his naive survival against cunning cruelty is a good comedic recipe.

There is one line of dialogue in this film and they make it count.

Simply structered but eerily effective.

The treatment of the subjects is rather vignette via interview, but it does tie together into one unifying theme that could address the concerns of many of those Bergman inteviewed in his adopted home.  Having seen Bergman Island before, it’s great to see his perspective on the place and the people. It’s also fascinating to watch in hindsight knowing there’s a followup ten years later, making it somewhat like the Up series.
