UNDERWATER WORLD: SHORT FILM COLLECTION (3+)
UNDERWATER WORLD: SHORT FILM COLLECTION (3+)
Two underwater tales about dreams, the power of imagination, friendship and courage. Their small but mighty heroes - a snail and a little fish called Tiddler - take us on deeply moving journeys that prove even the tiniest of creatures can achieve great things.
Both films are based on the much-loved books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the award-winning duo behind THE GRUFFALO, who featured on the big screen during the first edition of the BRITISH FILM FESTIVAL. Their books have sold over 85 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 100 languages
THE SNAIL AND THE WHALE tells the story of an extraordinary friendship and of dreams that can carry us much further than we might imagine. In TIDDLER, a lively little fish with a boundless imagination discovers that the stories we make up can become a compass guiding us towards what truly matters. Both animations captivate with their stunning visuals, rhythm, humour, gentle wisdom and a heartfelt celebration of the natural world.
Produced by MAGIC LIGHT PICTURES, a studio whose films have won three BAFTAS, three EMMY AWARDS and received four ACADEMY AWARD nominations, these beautifully crafted animations are shown in over 180 countries. Their original English versions often feature acclaimed actors, with Sally Hawkins lending her voice to the snail.
Keep your eyes peeled! The filmmakers are known for hiding familiar characters in each of their films. Will you be able to spot THE GRUFFALO swimming by this time?
