DETACHABLE

9-year-old Amy, her 7-year-old brother Billy and their dog Sniffy have detachable and swappable limbs and heads. They use these special powers to invent games and play tricks on each other, but with these powers come unforseen unintentional consequences. Written and directed by Van Sowerwine. Animated by Isobel Knowles.

Amy and Billy are 9 and 7 year old siblings. They live in the inner suburbs of a large Australian city, and are like most children except for one thing: they share a special power. Their arms, legs and heads can all be detached and placed on each other’s bodies. This power also extends to their large, shaggy dog Sniffy, leading to all sorts of strange combinations of bodies! Every afternoon Amy, Billy and Sniffy go to the park and play. They use their special powers to entertain each other as well as to play tricks…
