LIAF 2016: Marvellous Animations (PG)

October 4, 2016 by LIAF

Animation, like childhood, can be full of wonder with the biggest pleasures being the simplest ones. This programme carefully chosen for children of 8 and above strips away all the soft-sell toy ads and the over-the-top blockbuster-style special effects and delivers up a selection of wonderful films full of joy. Suitable for 8-15 year-olds and their parents/carers/friends.

These captivating films include a nutty trapeze act in an even nuttier circus, a superhero who’s superglasses give life to a terrifying monster and a scarecrow with a broken leg.
