Tumble Dance — an animated short film

Tumble Dance — hand-painted watercolor title

They were never really lost. Just waiting to be found.

An animated short film 2026

Two socks fall in love. A short film in hand-painted watercolor and digital animation, told without a single word.

The two socks entwined in the wash, trailing droplets
Red polka dots and blue stripes, painted in watercolor
Socked feet dancing in the dark among confetti shapes
