The Happy Duckling
Directed by Gil Dolev |Scotland 2008 | Animation Length: 8:45mins Language: English
| This beautiful animation follows a the journey a a little girl attempting to get rid of a persistent duck. The special thing about this animation is that it the chase occurs within a pop up book. My 7 year and 5 year old loved this. |
Anything you can do

Two boys face of in a back room. The competition is fierce. Faces are pulled, grapes are thrown and burps are unleashed. But when the stakes are at their highest, and no punches are pulled, will victory still taste sweet.
