This is a lovely, sweet, and fun story. Mutton is an amazing character, and her love and belief in her owner is heartbreaking. Mutton's design and being a Frankenstein dog are two fantastic elements. The twist of Mutton wanting to be on the talent show is awesome. I really like how her relationship blossoms with Mary. I really appreciate how you use the fantastic (Frankenstein dog) with some really solid thematic elements (being abandoned, finding a new home, Mary's anxiety about losing Mutton). Watching this I got hit with a bunch of emotions, and Mutton's innocence is both endearing and heartbreaking. The argument between Mutton and Mary is so sad and effective because of your dialogue. You do a great job of letting Mutton hit a very low point and creating maximum drama.
This is a solid reel, but there are a few things that were unclear, but these are easy fixes. First, it is unclear who Mutton is in the beginning, and because of this the story isn't able to hook us immediately. Filling in a few more details about who Mutton is, like her unflinching loyalty and innocence, before she is dropped off can nicely fix this. Your reel is nicely detailed and you hit all the big and small beats well, but it can still use some trimming. I love how thorough your reel is, but focusing on Mary and Mutton's emotional arcs more might be a good way to tighten this up, especially in the beginning. Also, act two can develop Mutton's inner struggles a bit more clearly. When Mutton and Mary have their fight, it is so sad, but because things run so smooth earlier on, perhaps there can be some more foreshadowing earlier on. This is also an easy fix and it is clear what you are doing, so throughout rewrites it is certain that Mutton's conflicts will be smoothed out.
This is a complete story, it is original, beautiful, and has an amazing message. You are able to create humor and heartbreak easily, and the story is so warm and kind. I am so glad I found your reel.

This is where the special thanks would go! I’m assuming they will be a little longer this week, therefore, I designed extra space for them. If there is far more description and special thanks then there is space, this entire box becomes scrollable.
