LIAF 2017: Marvellous Animation for 8-15 year-olds (PG)

October 20, 2017 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 to deliver a selection of wonderful films full of joy. This programme is suitable for all ages but especially 8-15 year-olds.

These enthralling films include a surreal story about three friends who exchange heads by accident, a grumpy granny living in a blue fairy-tale forest and a tense and prickly standoff between a hedgehog and a quartet of insatiable beasts.
