The Retrievers

For KNGF’s 90th anniversary, we helped craft a classic superhero-style animation, showcasing how guide dogs are real-life heroes for their owners. We had the pleasure of bringing the concept to life from start to finish, working on the design, animation, and visual storytelling with a fun, energetic approach.  

“Inspired by the bold, dynamic style of classic cartoons like The Jetsons, Powerpuff Girls, and Dexter's Laboratory, we combine their timeless appeal in the visual design of the guide dogs . This nostalgic style resonates across generations – kids love the fun, action-packed visuals, while adults feel the charm and memories of the past.'' - Mirjam Verhoog, Lead Designer

“Each dog was given a unique design to showcase its special powers and personality. To amplify the visual impact, we used hard lighting with strong contrasts, creating dramatic, geometric compositions that enhanced the fast-paced, action-packed vibe.Through this film, we celebrate both the remarkable work of KNGF's guide dogs and the art of animation that resonates with audiences everywhere.” - Nick Groeneveld, Design & Animation Director
