Acorns (2012) - An Animated Short Film

Winner of the Royal Television Society Wales Centre 2012 Award for Student Animation. “Well told and animated with just the sort of design and animation idiosyncrasies that tickle my fancy. Brilliant.” Robin Shaw, Co-Director of ’The Snowman and the Snowdog’ (2012) and ’We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ (2016) Order the DVD now on my Storenvy online shop for behind-the-scenes and extras: Upon a hill grows a grand Oak tree, which also happens to be home to a playful tree Spirit. Amber, a curious youngster, befriends this Spirit and throughout the seasons they form the strongest of friendships. Every day the Spirit gives Amber an acorn to plant, but the little girl is naive and threads them onto a necklace instead. One night, disaster strikes and Amber must realise the importance of caring for nature. “Acorns“ (2012) is a short 2D animated film by Animator and
