Dream Doll

Dream Doll is a 1979 British–Yugoslavian animated short film 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.

Plot

Dream Doll is a film with erotic overtones in which a gentleman falls in love with a sex doll. The short ends with the man "born aloft by the flocks of dolls" as a deliberate parody of The [Walt Disney Company|Disney]'s Peter Pan. Dream Doll is cited as one of Godfrey's most prominent works, although it also could be an homage to Albert Lamorisse's The Red Balloon.

Reception

The short was nominated for an Academy Award for [Best Animated Short Film] in 1980.
