Pups of Liberty now on DVD!

Hear ye!  Hear ye! A message of independence!  Friends of FLIP Bert and Jennifer Klein announce the DVD release of their independently animated film Pups of Liberty.  When I say 'independent', I don't mean 'small studio financing their own film', I mean 'animators working out of their living room for free'. Bert and Jennifer enlisted heavyweight animation talent such as Eric Goldberg, Mark Henn, Frans Vischer, Hyun Min Lee, Tony de Rosa,  Jay Jackson, and James Lopez to lend their skills to the cause.  The resulting film is  the top quality production you see here.....





...and here.....




Jennifer told FLIP in an an article from 2010:

"I've always been into the idea of telling stories in an allegorical fashion with animals. When it came down to trying to clarify what side the characters were on it was simpler to just do cats and dogs, and it just seemed funny to me, picturing these very serious cats walking around in uniform (by the way, I happen to be a cat lover). Also turning everyone into animals brings lightness to heavy concepts like taxes and representation. In the US, kids begin studying US History about 4th grade so originally I had that age group in mind, but I hope that it can appeal beyond that."

Bert and Jennifer have had a long journey over rough seas to bring their vision to the screen.  Support independence! Get Pups of Liberty today!
