A heartwarming tale of lost paws and found hope comes to life through innovative multimedia puppetry. " New Owner" blends tender storytelling with whimsical animation to explore life's bittersweet lessons about separation and belonging.
When an elderly woman adopts scrappy stray Bart, their bond seems unbreakable—until a stormy night separates them. Watch as Bart teams up with a street-smart canine ally to navigate urban dangers, dodge dogcatchers, and sniff his way back home. This genre-bending production (think Wes Anderson meets Homeward Bound) uses live puppetry and projection mapping to turn simple materials into magical realism. Beyond the feel-good adventure lies deeper commentary on Shanghai's stray animal crisis, all delivered with enough humor and visual charm to keep kids enthralled while parents wipe away sneaky tears.
