Lost and Found in Belfast Zoo

Well everyone, after 5 years of writing, storyboarding, recording and animating, my latest animation is finally here! This short is partially based on my many visits to Belfast Zoo, and most of the characters are based on real-life animals from the zoo.
In the story, a young human child loses patience with her mother during a visit to Belfast Zoo and storms off, and Lola the spectacled bear and friends need to find her and convince her to return to her mother.
I have been developing ideas about Belfast Zoo's animals in cartoon form for 6 years now. Someday, I hope to create an animated television series based on the animals of the zoo.
I would like to thank the amazing staff of Belfast Zoo for providing information about each individual animal. Without their incredible knowledge, some aspects of this cartoon may not have happened. I would also like to thank my family and those who have helped me in this project.
