This is my first introduction to Studio aka… I think I’m a fan. This film looks great. Textures are what really make or break animation for me. Lost and Found looks to have a great palette of wonderfully touchable textures.
From Cartoonbrew:
Studio aka has completed a 25-minute film adaptation of the children’s book Lost and Found. The film, directed by Philip Hunt, will debut on the UK’s Channel Four on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. It’s about the friendship that develops between a boy and a lost penguin who shows up at his doorstep. The film is narrated by Jim Broadbent and scored by composer Max Richter (Waltz With Bashir). Sounds like a charming film and looks promising too.
The book that inspired the movie by the same name is by Oliver Jeffers and looks to be very cute in it’s own right.
