Like childhood, animation is full of wonder and simple pleasures. This carefully chosen programme for our littlest audience contains short animated films, full of joy, from all around the world.
This programme contains several cheeky, loveable animals in all sorts of mad adventures. A manic octopus can’t stop cleaning up, a tiger is looking for someone to play with and a hard-working hedgehog goes on a magical quest with his friends the old monkey, the orphan squirrel, a stray bird and a beaver.
Before this screening we have an Animation Workshop in the Cinema 2 & 3 Foyer. Artist Reza Ben Gajra will host the workshop which is inspired by the London Animation Festival's short films.
Free, sign up in the venue on the day.
Limited spaces; first come, first served.
Recommended age group: up to 7 years old
Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count.
