Wikipedia article




'I, Pet Goat II' is a 2012 Canadian animated short film written, directed, produced and edited by Louis Lefebvre. The film features a commentary on American society and politics, particularly covering presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, with allusions to Osama bin Laden, the War on Terror, Biblical theology, and Arabian imagery in a post-apocalyptic setting. The title is a reference to 'The Pet Goat' (often erroneously referred to as 'My Pet Goat'), the book President Bush read to children at Emma Booker School in Sarasota, Florida at the time of the September 11 attacks which ends stating "more to come". The film is known for its strong use of cryptic symbolism.
