The only DVD my children watched more than Ice Age

I cannot be more of a fan for this great compilation for children aged 4 and up. This release of the DVD label of the Short Film Festival in Leuven really does compile 11 of the best animated shorts for children I've ever seen. When you come to think about it, it's only natural for young children to see short films. My kids (4 and 7) still do not have the patience to sit still for an entire feature (with exception of Ice Age, that goes without saying), so watching a few shorts just before they go to bed is an ideal solution. I never imagined there would be such a variety in animated short film available, for the very poetic Lunar Jig and Shadows and Reflections to the very original (2D) animated Bonhommes and my personal favorite, Kater, about a cat that looses (almost) its 9 lives in search for true love. This is the kind of DVD my kids can't stop watching, and one of the few I actually don't mind joining them.

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.
