[TOMT] [SHORT FILM - ANIMATED] [2009] [PIG LOOKING FOR A JOB?]

Solved

Posting this again as still unanswered...

My parents used to get LoveFilm movies sent to our house. One day we got ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ (2009) and we watched it and it was great. Me and my sister both remember a short film playing afterwards (we don’t know if it had anything to do with WTWTA or if it was a short film that came with LoveFilm).

It was an animation with a weird art style that was a little bit creepy. It was about a pig who was looking for a job?? There are a couple parts of this film that stick out in my mind such as one part where the pig is in the woods and has a piece of paper that says “call [phone number] for work” and they literally shouts the phone number out loud and someone comes out of the trees to help her.

I know they get some babysitting job and has to look after a baby but the baby is massive or really scary and screams loads. I vaguely maybe remember another part where the baby is actually a monster that she has to tame.

The film is quite short and I remember watching it immediately after WTWTA and being quite creeped out. The animation style might have been claymation or stopmotion because it wasn’t cartoon-y and it looked 3D but I might be wrong, the quality of the film might not be as good as my memory remembers it being.

It was set in the woods. The pig (I swear it was a pig, unless it was just a pig-like creature) has to find the house of the baby it has to look after and it’s a scary house in the woods. It goes inside and has to climb up all these stairs and the baby is huge and keeps crying and the pig has to comfort it

The Where The Wild Things Are DVD had a short film on it called “Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must be more to Life” , which does have a pig but I think the main character was a dog. I haven’t seen it in ages though.
