This short is an excellently animated look at the history of the British rise and decline as a colonial power, using a bulldog as the symbol of that rise and subsequent recession. Remarkable use of black and white versus color makes this even more noteworthy. Joanna Quinn has a nice touch with things. Her short Famous Fred is 180 degrees from Britannia and shows some breadth as well as depth to her work. This one was nominated for a BAFTA and deservedly so. It's available on Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation Vol. 3, if I recall the number correctly and the tape as a whole is worthy of your attention. Well worth watching. Most highly recommended.
