IFI FAMILY: EVEN MICE BELONG IN HEAVEN

Director: Jan Bubenícek & Denisa Grimmová

80 mins, Czech Republic-France-Poland-Slovakia, 2021, Digital


Stop motion fans will love the detailed and character-filled world of this puppet animation, from Czech Fresh Films, adapted from an original YA novel. Whizzy the mouse and fox Whitebelly are mortal enemies as nature intends, until events cause them to end up in animal heaven together. With detail, humour and creativity, the animators touch on big subjects, while offering a thrilling adventure, with a few gentle scares, as the two critters try to find a way of coexisting.

Showing in association with Samhain Family Festival 2022.
