Children are the future....past and present

One early form of animated documentary that is as prevalent as ever is animating to voice recordings. Childrens voice recordings always seem popular to animate possibly due to their inventive imaginations & uncorrupted childs wisdom


WINDY DAY (1968)
John & Faith Hubley recorded their childrens musings and adventures in the garden animating it in a childlike, crayon & watercolour effect



WHEN LIFE DEPARTS (1991)
Childrens views of what happens/what its like to die are set to simplistic linedrawn animation in this poignant short



GIVE UP YER AUL SINS (2002)
Using old recordings from an Irish catholic school of children retelling bible tales, this series of Oscar nominated shorts recreates a sepia tinted film look which fits brilliently with the mise-en-scene and the real historical setting of this animated documentary
