RUN TOTTI RUN | Award Winning Animated Short Film

I came here thinking this would be a cute doggy story (and it was) but I was blindsided by THE FEELS. 😭🤧😭

When you find out your dog has cancer. The love, the battles, the good-bye, the deep soul-wrenching sadness, the memories. On point.

I knew, 5 seconds in, that I should NOT watch this. Every second I watched, I knew I should NOT continue. Even at the end, as I could barely see the screen through my tears, I knew I should NOT have watched this. Yet... The amazing tenderness, the beautiful art direction, the palpable love in every frame of this animation prompted me to watch until the very end. Totti would be proud to have such an amazing memorial. I wish I could express the love I have for those I have lost so poignantly. Thank you for adding beauty to the world.

I've lost two dogs to cancer. It sucks so hard. I was told a poem. When you lose a dog, it takes a piece of your heart with it. When you rescue a new dog, it gives you a piece of its heart, so when you die, your heart is all dog.

Rest in peace Totti. I'm glad you got to spend life with someone special.

Props to the animators with the dog’s running. Until you’ve seen a greyhound run, you have no idea how crazy fast their body moves.

This film is beautiful. The animation, the painting-like style and the lighting. The symbolism and the sheer weight of the line "why him?" The run scenes and the emotion. It's all beautiful. I LOVE THE TOTTI AND THE TOTTI LOVES MEEEEEEE

I just couldn't stop crying at the end. It's just too hard to say goodbye to someone you love so much

The rope connecting their souls no matter what was such a beautiful touch, but when it snapped, that actually destroyed me

I can't explain how grateful I am to have participated in this project and how much I learned and grew as an animator from all the team

I love how much he tries to avoid losing his dog. It's true. We'd do whatever we could to avoid that last goodbye. I have three babies now and I can't imagine life without them. I hope I won't have to for many more years.

The animation is literally **DEPRESSING**; not the animation exactly but the colouring and lighting. The message it has and the story is great! He lost the dog; crying in sorrow of losing him! but still they have the golden memories of him with him... Also the detail about the bond between Toddi and owner gives this movie more speciality in itself!

My dog passed away a few years ago, she loves to run, and this hit me on another level, all the emotions came rushing back. Beautiful, but I’m crying now

I don’t cry too often. And yet I’m crying. Good job, you made a person that hardly cries, cry. That just goes to show how heartwarming and emotional this is

Didn't expect to cry today, but here we are. 10/10 movie

I came into this thinking, "Huh, this isn't so sad" When the film ended, my face was covered in tears. This film shows how attached people can get to their dogs. This film is spot - on 😭💖😭💖😭💖

I love the aesthetic of the movie, it looks like it was done with watercolor paint and I love how the owner and the dog were bound together spiritually

Love that dog!

YOU DID NOT NEED TO MAKE ME CRY TODAY (also the animation was beautiful)

I started crying after seeing the real Totti at the end. People, do everything to avoid illness from taking over your pet. Sometimes, despite all that we do, there is a negligence somewhere, sometimes. It happens usually with pet owners who have a busy lifestyle. Fill their life with happiness. A happy pet is a healthy pet.
