| Tartan Troubles tells the tragic tale of man, man's best friend ... and a dog. Set in the scenic Scottish highlands, our hero, MacJohnson the piper, plays his pipes to wake the nearby village, and the melodic sound of his playing attracts a small Westy, who comes to investigate. Mesmerized by the swaying pipes, Westy teaches MacJohnson that there's a fine line between art and the jaws of defeat. Created with loving attention to detail, this larger-than-life tale uses complex simulation, squash-and-stretch rigs, exquisite lighting, and powerful animation to tell the tale of this upstanding citizen and his mesmerizing pipes. Will MacJohnson survive his encounter with the ravages of an adoring audience? Will his pipes ring out over the hills again? In this classic story of man versus beast, art versus the quotidian, the winner will be the one who can think outside the boxers! |
