Pocket Dragon (2019) - SVA Thesis Film

Troubled magic shop employee Zuma has a chance encounter with an unusually tiny mystical dragon. This little lizard is cute and all, but it may be causing more grief than our already angsty protagonist can handle. When a mind-bending malevolent force breaks free from its life of confinement on store shelves, however, the pocket-sized dragon may be the support that Zuma needs to overcome his inner demons.
My thesis film for SVA! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!

Where's this from

[@bunnalien]

Wow, I... I really can't find the words. It's been over a year since I finished and posted this film, and all of a sudden, it's doing numbers that I could've never even DREAMED of getting on any of my animations or art pieces. I just... thank you so much for the support and your kind comments, everyone. It means the world to me... it truly does. I'm reading every single one, even if I can't find the words to respond with. I'm... so unbelievably thankful that so many people are actually enjoying this little film that I made with my own two hands. Thank you all so, SO much

[@damnamistupid7154]

Pls plss!! Make a comic or a animation of this, its so interesting!

[@xpuppymochi]

Broo i wish I had seen this sooner you’re style and the way you animate is epic. Great job

oh gawd a tiny lil dragon

[@mercedes3585]

This is like that meme! About the dragon that hords a single coin, and travels around the world because whenever someone pays for something with that coin, the dragon fallows it! :)

[@glowworm2]

That's exactly what I was thinking when the teeny tiny dragon showed up!

[@emperoreternus4]

Can you share the meme? It sounds wholesome. I can’t seem to google search it.

[@amp-le4699]

@@emperoreternus4 It was at Tumblr, as far as I remember

[@emperoreternus4]

Aira Melrone Pispis thanks for letting me know I’ll see if I can find it!

I LOVE seeing fantasy worlds that have progressed into the digital/modern age, and there’s honestly not enough of them out there! The story, animation music, and sound design are all amazing, but I just LOVE this underutilized setting!

After his boss found him on the floor and the next accident was going to happen I thought he would be fired after that. Good that the dragon didn't cause so much trouble that it really happened.
