Animalitoland's mural from the 2018 festival is located on Doyle Street, near its junction with St Ignatius Street. The mural depicts a large, purplish, bear-like creature sitting, with its head thrown back in a joyous, laughing expression. It holds a small, childlike figure wearing a red hoodie, who in turn holds a glowing, lightbulb-like object. The scene is set against a vibrant background that radiates a warm, yellow light from behind the large creature, with abstract, geometric shapes and symbols on the left side of the building's facade. The style is recognisably consistent with the artist's signature aesthetic, which often features "fantastic creatures" and children in a "colourful explosion". The presence of this artwork, and its clear recognisability, reinforces the festival's success in commissioning works that resonate with the public while maintaining artistic integrity.
