London International Animation Festival

LIAF presents: Animated Kids’ Shorts at Filmhouse, Edinburgh

by

This screening has been carefully curated with our youngest audience in mind. It’s suitable for children of all ages, but specifically aimed at 4-12 year-olds. Animation is the most imaginative and engaging of all art forms and is the perfect platform to enthral and inspire the wide-open imaginations of kids. There’ll be talking animals, seriously fun adventures and tales that spark all those little imaginations – and not a toy ad in sight!

Please check Filmhouse cinema for correct start times and to purchase your tickets.
