That Ghost In The Shell director Mamoru Oshii has a thing for basset hounds is not exactly news for fans. The man has been tucking the sad eyed, droopy eared dogs into his work - both live action and animation - for decades now and it's been suggested more than once that the director has more affection for his canine friends than any bipeds on the planet. So the fact that recent animated short film Je T'Aime features a basset hound as the lead isn't really a surprise. If anything the surprise is that it's taken this long for a hound to take the lead.
Je T'Aime had a brief festival run before being released as part of a DVD package for Japanese pop stars Glay and you can check it out below.
