Colour Box 1: Cinemajigs

Singing starfish, flying pianos and Yo Gabba Gabba! A medley of musical shorts for all ages.

Here’s a collection of films to get you dancing in your seat. Contents include singing starfish, flying pianos and beatboxing animals, as well as a festive number from Yo Gabba Gabba and a new version of the classic Sesame St pinball song. In an episode from popular Swiss cartoon Molly Monster, Molly gets piano lessons, while charming US puppet short Jillian Dillon (dir: Yvette Edery) is based on a song about a Hippoplatypus. Cinemajigs features films from all over the world, and from Birmingham too: The Mechanical Musical Marvel (dir: Chris Randall) is an animated short about Symphony Hall’s 6000-pipe organ.
