Near the end of the brisk 73-minute runtime of The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet (El perro que no calla), a sequence executed in hand-drawn sketches shows a meteorite landing on Earth. The event alters our access to oxygen. Now, the vital gas only exists up to 4 feet above the ground, which means people either have to squat walk or wear an astronaut-like bubble helmet to be able to stand upright. The farcical sci-fi conceit packs a deeper meaning that reminds us how even during 2020, profits came before safety.
