Dream Doll (1979 film)

Dream Doll (Croatian: Lutka snova) is a 1979 British-Yugoslavian animated short by Bob Godfrey and Zlatko Grgić as a co-production between Zagreb Film and Bob Godfrey Films. The authors shared similar art styles and animation philosophies such as using absurdist gags and disheveled drawings.[1] It is a film with erotic overtones in which a gentleman falls in love with an inflatable doll.[2] The short ends with the man "born aloft by the flocks of dolls" as a deliberate parody of Disney's Peter Pan.[3] Dream Doll is cited as one of Godfrey's most prominent works.[4]

Reception

The short was nominated for an Academy Award in 1980 in the category of Best Short Film.[1]
