Donkey Wrong
Donkey Wrong
The power of storytelling through animation to reveal the magic of everyday life.
Selected for Pictoplasma's revered annual screening, Donkey Wrong is a charming study on luck, magic, and the human condition. Bucky’s
journey shows us that life can change at any moment and that the difference between success and failure can be found between your ears.
The film came about during the national lockdown, when we wanted to take on the challenge of a longer-form narrative piece while working remotely
as a team. We were able to refine our capabilities, delve deeper into character development and showcase the immense talent in the studio.
Style development
Cast of characters
A realistic, relatable and diverse cast of secondary characters add to Bucky’s story. They all have their own shapes, sizes and personalities; it was important to us that the film was an inclusive reflection of real life.
Sounds of the sea
In a soundtrack worthy of Donkey Wrong’s thrills and spills, Rob Flynn’s four fab compositions drive the story. Sound wizards Coda to Coda added effects as only they can – listen out for super squelches, donkey breaths and beachside bridle jingles.
