Jeesh, all these haters...I thought this was a story about finding yourself. That each person had some purpose...not about death or learning to deal with dying....Yes, it does have that thing about God but not being religious myself, I could still see it was just a good morale about finding your own self value, no matter where you came from. I would not suggest showing to little toddlers, but to children you could sit and actually interact with during and after the film. Yea, need to interact with your children so they won't bring poo into the house....that was sarcasm for a previous poster. Also the English Dub does grind at your ears, so if you can forgive some of the actors/actress voices and make it through the film, it can get a tear out of you.

Before even reading the other reviews, I realised that this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it films. In fact, I found it slightly strange and weird at the start, but, as you keep watching, it becomes very absorbing. Deeper meanings aside, this film is fantastic, it is a mixture of very good animation with an intriguing plot line. I found the music especially good as it had a similar tune throughout but a different mood for every different scene/season. Some people say this film is advocating god, but in my opinion, the only thing the film is stressing about is about the beauty and preciousness of life and nature, no matter how seemingly unimportant it is (hence using the doggy poo as the main character and not a tree, for example). All in all, it is a magnificent film which once seen, will inspire you to go outside and stare at trees for a while. Well worth watching.

... then you'll hate this too. The religious message is less obvious with the subtitles than it is if you understand the Korean, but you can't miss the conclusion "God has a purpose for you" - that's nice and all, but one thing I can't stand about the bible bashers is their SNEAK ATTACKS. If this had advertised itself as a religious cartoon, then I wouldn't have wasted the money or time, but instead it's billed as an "eccentric" cartoon. I'm thinking Devo, I get Pat Boone.Hey, if you want your religious beliefs confirmed by a cheap claymation piece of poo, then have at it. If you're looking for something interesting coming out of Korea, slug down some 'pem-ju' and rent "Old Boy

One of the most emotionally involving, deep, thoughtful films I have ever seen. And it's about poo! Using claymation this minor animation masterpiece tells the tale of a lil' poo all alone in the world questioning it's existence, 'Doggy Poo' creates a realistic character in poo making one genuinely care. The voice talent also is to be applauded; Poo is voiced by a child that you won't hate after mere minutes! After being dropped by a Jack Russell the lil' fella meets various characters passing him along the way; all who have found their place in life. Poo then struggles to see why he's here. If you've any interest in animation you really should check out this minor gem! However, maybe not one for the kids. Whilst not Von Trier, the first two thirds are very dark, but then again it might be a sensible, workable approach to explain death to children. Choose life.....choose Poo!
