| User ReviewLora NThis was one of the shorts we featured in our Shorts Programme 1. Great bit of animation with a nifty cranky twist! |
| User ReviewLuc LA combination of 2D and 3d animation film which has a funny story. The details and the light and shadows are amazing. |
| User ReviewHans J. EThis is a really funny 6-minute animated short from Ireland that was nominated for an Oscar this year. If interested check it out on youtube |
| User ReviewAlec BManaged to catch this short film at the recommendation of a friend....being a teacher and working with lots of children, I absolutely loved its macabre twist on the fairy story. The vocal work is fantastic and the eponymous protagonist every bit as dark and terrifying as the original brother's Grimm. Definitely worth a watch if you get a chance to see it; and see it you should! :o) |
