Work in Progress is a 2000 computer animated short film produced by visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic and directed by Tom Bertino

Plot

A tall, thin inventor with a wisp of white smoke for hair (voiced by Richard Wilson) is in a large workshop with his dumpy, cigar smoking assistant (voiced by Tony Haygarth) working on designing and building a huge gorilla. The conversation between them explains to the user that the pair have created all of the animals on their world, but only with the help of a small girl; except for one, the chihuahuaraffe, a chihuahua body with a giraffe neck and head, which has severe stability issues resulting in it tripping over constantly.
