Grab your friends, your family, and your hot cocoa and come curl up in front of the big screen as the New York International Children's Film Festival presents three beautiful animated short films celebrating snow, ice and all of winter's exciting wonders!
The program includes:
Leon in Wintertime
Animation, Canada, Pierre-Luc Granjon and Pascal Le Notre, 2007, 27 minWinter has descended on the kingdom and a mountain ogre has kidnapped beautiful Molly Gingerbread, the king's daughter. Meanwhile, Leon, a young bear adopted by a family of beekeepers, runs away from home, falls in love with the princess, and lands himself in all kinds of unexpected and perilous adventures.
Spot & Splodge in Snowstorm
Animation, Sweden, Uzi Geffenblad and Lotta Geffenblad, 2008, 7.5 min
It snows outside and Spot and Splodge run about building a snowman, having a snowball fight, and making snow angels. All of a sudden the wind is strong, the snow sticks all over their bodies, there isn't a spot of Spot to be seen! And where is Splodge? Where's the house?
Choo-Cha
Animation, Russia, Garry Bardin, 1997, 25 min
A young boy is ignored by his parents and the other adults at a festive holiday gathering, and there are no other children to play with. So after concocting some minor mischief for the grownups, the boy retreats upstairs to the attic, where he rummages through odds and ends to create a special playmate for himself.
