I, Pet Goat II is a 2012 Canadian animated short film written, directed, produced and edited by Louis Lefebvre. The title is a reference to The Pet Goat (often erroneously referred to as My Pet Goat), the book President Bush read to children at Emma Booker School in Sarasota, Florida at the time of the September 11 attacks.
The film is a commentary on both globalism and American post 9-11 society and politics, infused with religious and occult imagery. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are presented as main characters, alongside the gnostic Christ with allusions to Osama bin Laden, the War on Terror, Biblical theology, and Egyptian mythology in a post-apocalyptic setting. The film is known for its strong use of cryptic symbolism and referencing Lebfebre's belief in the Illuminati and 9/11 trutherism. I, Pet Goat II continues to be discussed online, with Lew Rockwell describing it as the "granddaddy of conspiracy cartoons".
