Doggy Poo (2003)

Doggy Poo (2003), directed by Kwon Oh-sung, is a 34-minute stop-motion animated film from South Korea, based on Kwon Jung-saeng's 1968 children's book.

The story centers on Doggy Poo, a sentient piece of dog feces left on a roadside, who embarks on a quest to find meaning and acceptance. Throughout his journey, he encounters various entities—a sparrow, a lump of soil, a leaf, and a dandelion sprout—each imparting lessons about purpose and self-worth. Ultimately, Doggy Poo discovers his role as fertilizer, contributing to the growth of a beautiful dandelion, symbolizing the idea that everything has a purpose, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
