My Dog Tulip is a 2009 American animated drama film based on the 1956 memoir of the same name by J. R. Ackerley, BBC editor, novelist and memoirist. The film tells the story of Ackerley's fifteen-year relationship with his Alsatian dog (German Shepherd) Queenie, who had been renamed Tulip for the book.
It was a pleasurable film to create because Ackerley's book, My Dog Tulip, is one of the most delightful reads there is. The late Roger Ebert thought so too, calling our film "The Best Animated Feature Film of 2010" and featuring it that year in his exclusive Film Festival in Champagne, Illinois.

Sep 1, 2010 · The distinguished British man of letters, Ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when, well into middle age, he came to adopt Tulip – a beautiful, yet intolerable 18-month-old German shepherd.
