The extrusion of Doggy Poo from the dog's anus tied my stomach into knots, I was so awe stricken as Doggy Poo realized that it had a conscious. The knots in my stomach started to intensify and pang as the ox drawn cart threatened to flatten our hero and it's friend as they discussed their purposes in life. There are many similar incidents in this film that will make you wriggle in your seat, as Doggy Poo interacts with other characters to discuss the meaning of life.Digesting this film might be difficult for children as the subject matter is indeed existential, and you may think it's too radical as the dialectical tendencies reduce the subject matter to it's most basic components. Luckily the film only clocks in at thirty-minuets, which is short enough to prevent the child audience from becoming too agitated.I don't want to spoil the end of the film for you, but you will feel that a great weight has been expelled from you as our main character discovers their purpose in life. You may even feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the film.

Jeesh, all these haters...I thought this was a story about finding yourself. That each person had some purpose...not about death or learning to deal with dying....Yes, it does have that thing about God but not being religious myself, I could still see it was just a good morale about finding your own self value, no matter where you came from. I would not suggest showing to little toddlers, but to children you could sit and actually interact with during and after the film. Yea, need to interact with your children so they won't bring poo into the house....that was sarcasm for a previous poster. Also the English Dub does grind at your ears, so if you can forgive some of the actors/actress voices and make it through the film, it can get a tear out of you.

Okay. A Korean children's film about dog crap...? Count me in! I love Korean cinema, children films and dog crap. How couldn't I jump at the chance to watch this little gem of a film.The story starts off with a Jack Russell lookin' pup taking a dump on the side of the road. After a moment, this dog poop amazingly becomes conscious. It opens its eyes, and almost immediately, begins pondering some pretty deep thoughts. When talking with other characters or sitting alone, it's always pondering existence, wanting to know reason for life, or even thinking/talking about the subject of death. These are all very mature ideas for a children's film, but mixing it with such a vibrant and loving feel, the movie takes these issues and makes them relatable for children and adults alike.Doggy Poo is really quite a unique little film, due to some charming animation (most of it claymation), rather taboo ideas for a family film, and of course, it's lead character being a pile of dog crap.It was a breath of fresh air for this viewer, and it remains a cute little film I'm sure most people will enjoy.

Before even reading the other reviews, I realised that this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it films. In fact, I found it slightly strange and weird at the start, but, as you keep watching, it becomes very absorbing. Deeper meanings aside, this film is fantastic, it is a mixture of very good animation with an intriguing plot line. I found the music especially good as it had a similar tune throughout but a different mood for every different scene/season. Some people say this film is advocating god, but in my opinion, the only thing the film is stressing about is about the beauty and preciousness of life and nature, no matter how seemingly unimportant it is (hence using the doggy poo as the main character and not a tree, for example). All in all, it is a magnificent film which once seen, will inspire you to go outside and stare at trees for a while. Well worth watching.
