Amazing Animations (0-6 year olds) (U)

September 4, 2013 by LIAF

Animation, like childhood, can be just full of wonder with the biggest pleasures being the simplest ones. This programme carefully chosen for our littlest and most special audience strips away all the soft-sell toy ads and the over-the-top blockbuster-style special effects and just delivers up a programme of wonderful films full of simple joys.

At Barbican book tickets
Also at The Rio Sat 2 Nov. Tickets will be available to book here

10am – 11am: FREE Children’s drop-in animation workshop.

Join us in the cinema foyer for a special chance to try out your hand at making a short animated sequence with BAFTA-award winning animator Kevin Griffiths.
