Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Dog and Rabbit is a verified, award-winning UK animation studio with a strong portfolio (BBC, Channel 4, Virgin Media, BAFTA nomination). However, the project is a service business (agency) rather than a scalable technology product, and the submission contained low-effort data (e.g., 'everyone' audience, confusing revenue figures). While the creative utility and traction are high, the technical innovation score is low as it relies on standard industry tools. The PoU score reflects a successful boutique business with limited tech-scalability.

Description
We specialise in character building, 2D animation, Photo Cutout, Motion Graphics, Stop Frame and are riding the frontiers of AI (to support the above). We make short films, TV ads, idents and bumpers. And the occasional TV show. We've worked for Tyrrells, Sainsburys, TicTacs, Virgin Media, Fulfil, Railcard, Unicef, C4, C5, BBC, Nature, Travel Channel, Food Network and many more. We've won loads of awards for our new Beatles v Stones short, a British Animation Award for Best Film and TV Graphics (Travel Channel); were previously nominated for a BAFTA for Best Children's TV Short Series (The Sensibles for Disney); animated the first series of Modern Toss (C4); and, of course, Dog Judo (C4). We're now making The Incredible Noisebox. We'd like to think we're funny guys. You decide.
