Synopsis

This documentary backgrounds the process of turning Murray Balls' comic strip into an animated feature. Just who will voice the iconic Dog? Initiating producer Pat Cox stays off-screen; instead there are interviews with Footrot creator Murray Ball, fellow Manawatu scribe Tom Scott and voice-man John Clarke, who argues he narrowly beat Meryl Streep to win a part. Amongst the making of footage, look out for priceless footage of a young Michael Hopkins (later to achieve Oscar glory on Lord of the Rings), lending his feet to Footrot's sound effects.
