Hello Tonko House Fans,
Tonko House is happy to announce that we will be releasing the entire short film, The Dam Keeper (2014) for the first time in social media.

Thank you for your continuous support and we wish the safety and well-being for you and your loved ones. – Tonko House 【Released】

The Dam Keeper, a short film by feature animation artists Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi tells the tale of a young pig encumbered with an important job, and the meeting of a new classmate who changes everything. The short blends traditional hand-drawn animation with lush brushstrokes to bring Kondo and Tsutsumi celebrated painting styles to life like never before. Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen (Forbrydelsen, Sherlock) narrates the film.
