Every Child

1979 · 6 min

A charming, wordless animated short that blends playful sound effects with a tender story of rejection and belonging, leaving a warm afterglow.

Overview
This animated short follows an unwanted baby who is passed from house to house. The film is the Canadian contribution to an hour-long feature film celebrating UNESCO's Year of the Child (1979). It illustrates one of the ten principles of the Declaration of Children's Rights: every child is entitled to a name and a nationality. The film took home an Oscar® for Best Animated Short Film.
