Pib and Pog - Original Short (1995) - Animated Shorts
The Aardman-made Pib & Pog short from 1995.
Pib & Pog is a stop-motion animated short from Aardman released in 1995. It revolves on a parody of extremely simple young children television of the time, in which the short would start out simple and friendly, with a soft-speaking narrator kindly speaking over the two happy looking titular characters, but as time went on, the short would slowly get more and more violent and black in its comedy, with Pib and Pog starting to harm each other in increasingly violent ways. It went on to receive five mini episodes in 2006 as well as a successful advertising campaign for Dairylea Dunkers.
But much like other animated franchises, the series had began with a school-based project, and the one for this series would later be made into it's first proper iteration. As revealed by Dave Alex Riddett in commentary of the short on the Aardman Classics DVD, Peter Peake (the short's writer and director) had originally approached Aardman with the idea of the film, as he had already shot a version of it he made at college. It was basically in the form as you see the current short but supposedly a lot cruder; he would obviously later refine the ideas, characters and animation for this short, as at this point, he actually had a chance to spend more time to do it properly.
The short currently can not be found anywhere, and as of now it has yet to be found.
