- Overview
- A collection of bizarrely original animated stories from scripts written by young children. Emulating the approach of New York’s 52nd Street Project and London’s Scene & Heard theatre groups, the film is voiced by professional adult actors and directed to render the children’s dramatic intentions as sincerely as possible. Three short films within one film: Revenge Is Cold – Woody the box of matches dreams of becoming a lighter. Love Then First Fight – Bob Brakinlot the crowbar is a reformed criminal, determined to give himself a second chance. Keep Going – A young egg, Stuart, escapes from his fridge in Scotland on a mission to meet his hero, Michael Jackson.
