UK/Poland (2006): Animated/Short

This much-loved tale has resonated deeply with over five generations of children, enchanted by its power and sense of fun. This fantastical new 29-minute version by prize-winning director Suzie Templeton, specially made to be seen internationally both on TV and DVD as well as to be screened theatrically in concert halls worldwide accompanied by live orchestras, is set to delight a whole new audience.

BreakThru Films' innovative animated film version of Prokofiev's classic work, set to a new recording by the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra, was produced at the Oscar®-winning Se-ma-for Studios in Poland using stop-frame model animation (the technique popularised by Wallace & Gromit creators Aardman Animations) and state-of-the-art digital technology.

Co-written by Marianela Maldonado and Suzie Templeton; directed by Suzie Templeton; produced by Alan Dewhurst & Hugh Welchman. (A BreakThru Films/Se-ma-for Studios Production / BreakThru Films; Web site)
