Despite bullying from classmates and an indifferent public, the dam’s operator, Pig, works tirelessly to keep the sails spinning in order to protect the town. When a new student, Fox, joins Pig’s class, everything begins to change.”

The Gruffalo was created by Studio Soi and Magic Light Pictures for the BBC. The short 30 minute animated film combines both CGI and Stop-Motion techniques to create a stylistic look which is faithful to the original book
Here’s a great interview with Axel Scheffler as he talks through his initial Gruffalo book illustrations.
If you don’t manage to catch it on Christmas Day, the DVD is available now.

Alma Short Film in HD on Vimeo
Excellent short animated film entitled Alma by Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas
Excellent short animated film entitled Alma by Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas
There are two main characters in the film. Mainly the girl, but also the doll shop itself, which takes architectual influences from Gaudi’s House in Barcelona, to become something out of the ordinary.
Even though the film is beautifully animated and rendered, it just goes to show that a good story will leave you wanting to watch it over and over.
The film was recently shown at Siggraph 2009 in New Orleans and won the Jury Honorable Mention award.
Visit the Official Alma Website for an insight into the film.
