或る旅人の日記 The Diary of Tortov Roddle - complete series

 
Aru Tabibito no Nikki (2003) aka The Diary of Tortov Roddle
Animation by Kunio Katou.
 
His name is Tortov Roddle, and he is a traveler from Tortalia. Along with his unusually large companion of a pig (seemingly a relative of the Dalí elephants), the slender Tortov travels from place to place, always finding a new and beautiful adventure at his destination. These include islands carried by frogs, fish that live in cups of coffee and a land where a movie is projected on the back of a giant bear. It all makes for a quiet adventure of peaceful contemplation. There is no dialogue, only inserts from Tortov´s diary.

The episodes were originally produced for the internet in a solo effort by the director and only animator. There´s a total of nine episodes of which the first six constitute the original 16 min. movie:
