Short Films One (2019)

shortsRuntime: 70 min. | Recommended Ages: 5-10
Bigger, brighter, bolder—change is in the air in Short Films 1, brimming with stories full of growth and transformation. If you’ve ever been the youngest of the group, you’ll sympathize with the little tadpole who always falls a tad behind in the charming Kuap. Catching up on penmanship is the name of the game if you want to graduate from pencils in the winning doc Pen Licence. Seasons turn and spring is sprung when a boy flies the coop with the eye-popping imagery in Man with the Birds.
