Lost & Found
Based on Oliver Jeffers award winning children’s picture book and narrated by Jim Broadbent, a young boy is surprised by a knock on the door with the appearance of a penguin. He is determined to return him to his home in the South Pole any way he can. An exquisite gentle animation.
Kate and Bradbury
A sweet hand-drawn animation about the relationship between a kite and a bicycle where the balance between up and down is friendship.
