In 2009/2010 Per Dybvig started to transfer his drawings ? non-linear narratives just like his serial works ? into film with Hunter Hare Dog and Around the House or in the Bar, at least ,2011. The animations makes reference to Georg Pencz`s print work, The Hunter Caught by the Hares (1534-35). Also introducing reference to Norwegian fairy tales, his most recent animation Hare! Introducing the Horse, 2013 - is the third animation in the series revolving around this universe. Hare! Introducing the Horse takes up the comical-abysmal story of the hunter and his dogs ? introducing the horse - , but makes it even more brutal and with an almost feverishness rhythm of events. The narrator is following the events chronologically, interrupted by sequences where the story leaps into free association. This contradictory to the earlier animations, where the story is told without apparent connection to the events .The animation is accompanied by small musical sequences and sounds. The stop-motion-animation is made without corrections and presents an admixture of free forms and finely traced contours, always permeated by the crucial element of language.
