February 29, 2008

Created by Aardman Animation’s Richard Webber and taken on by Nickelodeon… the hilarious and stripped back stories of “Purple and Brown”  are great nuggets of visual comedy. Who needs dialogue?

Based in Bristol (UK) are the Arts and Media Team at Community at Heart. Every year they put on the Barton Hill Animation Festival as part of a regeneration project. The team works with the local community to provide a wide range of creative activities such as art classes, festivals and events.

In 2007 they created some animations with the children who attended the festival.

The Tortoise and the Hare

And an interesting re-telling of the Ugly Duckling story with a twist in its tail.

Marvelous!
