Title:Oink

Stop-motion animation has an enticing quality to it. When used effectively, this tactic just makes the outside world appear a bit nicer, at least for a short time. The plot is about a child who unexpectedly acquires a piglet - Babs is already a vegan; therefore, there is no conflict of interest here - thanks to a grandpa who abandoned her mother decades ago and is now attempting to make up, seemed easy enough. The animation is terrific, with all the animals embracing the wind and stroking their coats.
