В средневековом замке случается страшное преступление: один из новорожденных сыновей короля похищен. К счастью, мальчик остается жив — преступник теряет его в миле от родного дома. Младенца находит свинья и выкармливает вместе со своими поросятами. Таким образом, один из принцев-близнецов живет в роскоши и превращается в настоящего лентяя, а другой растет со свиньями, зато он трудолюбив и добр. Проходят годы, и братья воссоединяются на поле боя, когда воинственный князь соседних земель объявляет войну их королевству. Мультфильм «Поросенок Вэта» номинирована на «Оскар».

Wat’s Pig is a 1996 British stop-motion animated short film created by Aardman Animations and written and directed by Peter Lord. It is a tale of two brothers who are separated as babies only to reunite as adults during a war. It is told almost entirely non-verbally. It is based loosely on the story of The Prince and the Pauper.

Production

According to the crew, Wat's Pig was "shown first to all the Aardman people in a studio premiere without benefit of spotlights and starlets. Since then it's been shown at many short film festivals, and was then included in the Aardman Collection (which has been touring the world's cinemas very successfully)". They described it as a "long slow haul making Wat's Pig. The idea started...on holiday in the Dordogne region of France.

Wat's Pig was Aardman's sixth Academy Award nomination, and Lord's second Academy Award nomination as a director.

Peter Lord said: "I don't expect, Wat's Pig to make its money back, or Stage Fright to make its money back, but we have that luxury. We can do that here, because we get money from the commercials and the merchandising malarkey."

He explained some of the production process:

As a concept, it was in there right from the start. I think it is interesting as a way with story telling, not just as a technical exercise. I think about Paul Driessen's film, The End of the World in Four Seasons, a similar storytelling approach. There was a time when I thought of doing more of the film in split-screen, not the whole film, but more with split-screen, but that [idea] slowly eroded as I worked on the storyboards.
