I selected this video because of how meaningful and important friends and friendship can be in someone’s life, human or animal. Kitbull is a short animation that tells the story of how a timid kitten and a fighting dog came to be friends.
When little eight-year-old me first discovered this film, you could probably imagine how hard I cried and sobbed along with the pixels of the animation. This is why I feel like I have such a deep connection with this animation in particular both emotionally and mentally. It shows that sometimes, it’s okay to be cautious. But to truly create relationships and bonds full of quality, you have to open up and take the first step. I feel like this represents me as a person as well because of how cautious and timid I tend to be when making friends. I often keep to myself and don’t attempt to step out of my comfort zone when approaching new people. While rewatching this and researching a bit, I realized this film also gives the message of the treatment of animals. I feel like today, not as many people talk about the treatment of animals very much and we are ignorant of the fact that there are still many active dog-fighting facilities around the world both under the radar and in some cases, legally. As I see it, governments should not condone this and work harder to fully be rid of these facilities and find homes for poorly treated animals that live on the streets.
