Mariza: The (Viral) Stubborn Greek Donkey with Millions Views

A decade+ old short animation film about a stubborn Greek donkey continues its viral streak on social media.

Mariza the Stubborn Donkey is a funny short 3d animated film that Constantine Krystallis created back in 2008 for the Master’s of Animation course he took in the animation school of the University of Technology Sydney. The whole process took 8 months from start to finish.

After a year of making it’s run in the festival circuit, Krystallis decided to post it on-line for anyone to see.
Little did he know that Mariza would become world famous.

More than a decade after he posted it to YouTube, the 4-minute film has been viewed more than 26 million times.
