Lupo the Butcher is a 1987 three-minute animated short comedy film directed and written by Danny Antonucci. The short follows the story of a psychotic butcher who swears at his meat and has a huge temper when the smallest things go wrong. Produced by Marv Newland's International Rocketship Limited, Lupo the Butcher was a successful short and is considered a cult classic. PLOT: The three-minute film follows the story of an Italian psychotic butcher named Lupo, who swears at his meat and has a huge temper when the smallest things go wrong. He eventually gets angry to the point that he cuts off his own thumb, his body falls apart, and a fountain of blood is unleashed. Then when the film looks like its coming to an end, Lupo's severed head jumps into the credits box and comments about the people who worked on the film. He then falls asleep and the screen fades to black.
