At long last, we present to you the 3rd of the Young Animator Training shorts, titled Dudu the Floatie (pokapokajuju). It’s about a young girl named Mika. Her parents have broken many promises to take her to the beach, and the only way she can “swim” is in her little kiddie pool. Frustrated at her parents, Mika eagerly believes a child molester who has disguised himself as a dugong pool floatie and tells her that he’ll take her away to a “magical water kingdom”. While her parents work with the police to try and find her, the short goes into a heavy, scathing commentary of the failures of the Japanese law system. Meanwhile, Mika begins having delusions about actually being in the “magical water kingdom” to cope with the molestation. Hopefully we’ll get the 4th and final short out soon… blakbunnie didn’t translate this until earlier today, so it was “delayed” until now.
