Shape Shifters

Short films for all ages, with magical transformations including a mum who turns into an aeroplane and cakes that come to life.

A peek into an alternative dimension, where life isn’t quite as we know it. Cakes transform into living people (Decorations), elephants work as street cleaners (The Elephant and the Bicycle), and parents are jumbo jets (My Mom is an Airplane). This colourful and inventive collection of kids’ shorts also includes British animator Andy Martin’s luminous 12-part illustrated alien saga, The Planets, in which funny-looking creatures get up to weird and wonderful things, and Mari Miyazawa’s mouthwatering animated-food films will have you leaving the cinema headed for the nearest patisserie. A delectable treat for anyone age 4 to 104.
