This charming, beautifully made gem heralds the start of our family Christmas every year. Bookended by live footage of stunning Cornish scenery, the story it told in simple animation based on Nicola Bayley's original book illustrations, and narrated perfectly by Sian Phillips. Accompanied by a bewitching soundtrack, this beauty of a short film tells a simple tale of everyday heroism and love between an elderly fisherman and his companion cat and his determination to try to save his village form starvation, even if it costs him his life. Gentle, wonderfully told and utterly charming, no one with a heart could fail to love this film.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
