A cheerful collection of short animations, specially foraged for our very youngest foodies.

On the menu today, the best new and recent international animation – a mixture of stop-motion, hand-drawn and CGI – all with a food theme. A grumpy gorilla makes friends with a happy banana; two brown bears go in search of truffles; a genie pops out of a tin of pasta; two rabbits bake bread rolls for lunch; and the peas, shitake mushrooms, lotus root and other ingredients of a traditional Japanese New Year stew come to life.

We’ll screen the original-language versions of these films, with English subtitles on screen and read aloud via headsets for the very littlest ones in the audience.
