Dickie is an animation series (52 eps of 2 minutes) based on a comic-strip character developed by Pieter De Poortere. In a series of two-minute short films, we follow the exploits of a pitiful antihero with a big moustache who draws the short straw in every story. Dickie represents the universal loser. Whether he is a farmer or a pirate, a knight or an astronaut, things always end badly for him, to the great amusement of the viewer. We recognise our own shortcomings and weaknesses in Dickie’s character, and this recognition means that we also feel sympathy for this tragic figure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfZ16frx0E0 AWARDS:
