Production notes

A girl and her dog have delightful adventures in a world of psychedelic colours and patterns.

Cut-out animation in a style reminiscent of "Yellow Submarine" and Terry Gilliam's "Monty Python" inserts.

Without either dialogue or narration, the stories are told purely through action and the musical score.
