Dolls Don't Cry (French: Toutes les poupées ne pleurent pas) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Frédérick Tremblay and released in 2017.[1] Using stop-motion animation, the film is a portrait of two artists, a man and a woman, who are painstakingly making a stop-motion animated film, before revealing at its climax that they too are characters in a stop-motion animated film being posed and manipulated by another previously unseen animator.[2]
