Woof-Woof
Woof-Woof (Croatian: Vau-Vau) is a 1964 animated short by Boris Kolar for Zagreb Film, with music by Anđelko Klobučar.[1] Woof-Woof "satirizes the prejudice in the animal world with kittens that bark, and puppies that meow (to the consternation of their parents)".[2] In the short, Boris Kolar experimented with lines, bringing his characters close to abstract symbols.[3]
Reception
Cinemacats described it as a "very artistic film drawn in a loose and clever style which tells its simple story in a charming way".[4] John Martz of Drawn.ca notes "The minimal drawings aren't much more than scribbles, but they are filled with such life and personality, that you'd hardly notice".[5] The short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Film.[3] It won the first prize at International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.[6]
