Colour Box: Bugs and Beasts

Cunning birds, wriggly insects, and singing monsters feature in this selection of animated shorts from around the world, all highlights from this year’s Flatpack Festival.

The Fox and the Chickadee sees a hungry fox eyeing up a vulnerable little bird for his tea, but the clever bird has other ideas. Corrida tells the funny story of a bull who does everything he possibly can to avoid being caught by a toreador, and the winner of the 2013 Colour Box award is Hedgehogs in the City, a lovely fable by Latvian animator Evalds Lacis.


This programme is suitable for children aged 4+, and is screening as part of the Sandwell Arts Festival.
