The 3D animated short ‘Run for Glory’ shows a fascinating scenery at a horse racetrack. Thundering hooves and powerful muscles are heading towards the stretch when the finish line finally reveals the glorious hero.
‘Run for Glory’ presents an epic race which, against the expectations of the audience, is a donkey. In the end, the punch line appears: “It is not about ‘Why?’, but about ‘Why not?’”. While some may ask why a donkey is running on the racetrack it should be rather about the question, why a donkey shouldn’t run such a race. This message is supposed to motivate the audience to cross their own finish line, though some may tell them they won’t make it. Additionally, the animation inspires to be everything as long as you are trying hard enough.
