Synopsis

McDull is not the brightest kid on the block, but he continually tries to do his best and please his mother. Although it seems that he may not be destined for great things in life as his mother wishes, McDull never gives up.

The story focuses on several tales about McDull and his childhood. This is told as a narrative reflection of a now adult McDull. These tales muddle up in imaginative uses of Cantonese and heaps of local Hong Kong culture. From tales about a turkey dinner to dreams of following in Lee Lai-shan's footsteps, McDull faces ebbs and flows with his demanding but devoted mother.

My Life as McDull is the first installment in the Chinese animated movie series featuring the piglet McDull. True to its title, it is a slice-of-life chronicling McDull’s life from birth to childhood and exploring his evolving relationship with his resilient single mother and the society around them.

One question that often arises with anthropomorphic characters is whether their animal forms are purely aesthetic or symbolic. In McDull's case, the choice seems largely stylistic, at least on the surface. Pigs are typically associated with unattractiveness and laziness. Despite being naive and absent-minded, he is diligent and earnest. His mother, is mentally strong and successful businesswoman.
