“Dilworth’s breakout film was THE DIRDY BIRDY (1994).  The film critic, Karl Cohen, wrote, "An exceptional audience pleaser… I expect it will join Bambi Meets Godzilla as one of the great dubious classics of the late 20th century."  The film was selected in over 50 international festivals and has won numerous prizes including a Mikeldo do Plata de Animacion in Spain. THE DIRDY BIRDY toured with Spike & Mike’s "Festival of Animation" and "Sick & Twisted Festival." It was also selected to screen with the 35-city LOLLAPALOOZA SUMMER TOUR music festival in 1995 and opened for several feature films, among them, "CRUMB."  The Venice Film Festival has placed a print of THE DIRDY BIRDY in their permanent archive.  The film was featured on MTV’s debut of "Cartoon Sushi," a series that highlights the best in independent animation. It has been broadcast in Spain, France, Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Australia; as well as screening in theaters throughout Europe. The popularity of the film continues in 2006 as a roadband series on Comedy Central’s website, Motherload.” web

    foarte reusit, mai ales ca a pornit intuitiv in realizarea lui, fara nici un script si fara o finalitate in cap…doar ce am fost in seara asta la Anim’est si mi-a placut cat de natural si amuzant a fost Dilworth. Prima animatie prezentata a fost chiar asta iar la final ne-a urat sa ne gasim fiecare our dirty birdy (cu sau fara ochii aia picassieni as adauga eu)
