Stop motion animation – an art somewhat neglected by the mainstream – still has a devoted following among audiences and authors. This set of films will let us experience the wide range and unique character of today’s use of the technique, especially in the adult-oriented pieces. The characters in these shorts are presented with the unexpected – we want to do the same to our audience. We want to rediscover stop motion animation.

Dreams of a small kitty change a mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex’s attitudes towards life and his environment - a speculative study of chance. A humorous, visually rich animation, deftly combining stop motion with hand-drawn images and elements of 3D.
