The Dam Keeper, nominated for the Best Animated Short Film at the 2016 Academy Awards, is about to be expanded into a feature-length animated film. Fox and Tonko House, the production company of the original short film, will jointly produce this animated film. The protagonist of the story of The Dam Keeper is a pig. The pig inherited the family mission and was responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the windmill on the dam to prevent the town from being shrouded by black fog. Therefore, he was always dirty. But the pig still had to go to school. When he was in school, he was often bullied by his classmates because of his dirty body. Until he met a new classmate in the school - the little fox. The little fox likes to draw, and he drew those who bullied the pig in the painting. He became the pig's only friend in school.

It is reported that the story of the movie "The Dam Keeper" will be based on the ending of the short film, telling the story that happened a few years later. The film will mainly use 3D computer animation and will have dialogue. The director of the short film will still serve as the director of the feature film version, and John Henry Hinkel will be responsible for the script writing.
