The Little Pinky

Traditional Animation, 6m08s, 2011

Artist：Ming-Hsun Li

The Little Pinky is an animated short film about self-identity. Everyone is a unique individual with different and special traits. Each trait is indispensable to an individual in the process of individuation. But in the framework of the mainstream society, the traits are being eliminated to make the individual a duplicate. I transformed my life experiences and stories into a narrative animation to discuss how I face and accept myself in the conflicting social framework. Also, I tried to achieve self identity by making the animation. Life is a forever changing journey, and we always involve in different social groups. So the self-identity is a nonstop process. One can complete individuation by facing him or herself truly.
