The Dam Keeper is one of my favourite and highly anticipated animated shorts. I think the quality and work put into the film is outstanding. The animation resembles the illustrations of a storybook, in the style of a painting--which is quite unusual for an animated film. But the paintings are of an extremely high quality and there is an amazing artistry that set this one apart from other shorts I have seen - it just looks great. The filmmakers, Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi, used over 8000 paintings to make this short film, and it really shows. The story itself is very sentimental and sweet, and not in way that is forced or over the top. The Dam Keeper is a rare animated film that manages to make an impact on the audience despite its short run time.
