Marmalade is Missing (2023)
Be transported to a delicious and delightful world of animated burlesque. ‘Marmalade is Missing’ is a lovingly crafted showcase for hand-drawn animated movement and characterisation. Travel alongside the titular Marmalade and treat your senses to the glitter, flesh and coloured lights of an absurd and chaotic burlesque act; where very little is left to the imagination! Thousands of pencil drawings were produced to create this passionate tribute to the stage, illusion and female form in its many shapes, sizes and colours.
A joy filled delight in 2D hand drawn animation, James Nutting’s directorial debut. Treat your eyes to a fleshy feast of animated illusion at the Sneak-a-Peek Cabaret Club! Margo Monroe is the star of the show and she has one weakness, her big, fluffy, cheeky, ginger tom cat, Marmalade. Marmalade rules the roost backstage, and in his tireless pursuit for strokes and food, he escapes the dressing room. Beloved by all, Margo goes to pieces when he disappears - will she find him in time for her next show?
