Lost and Found – a film!
Don’t miss checking out this trailer from UK outfit, aka Studios.
It’s a film adaptation of Oliver Jeffer’s picture book, Lost and Found. Lucky UK residents will have the chance to see the complete 25-minute film on Christmas Eve at 2:30pm and on Boxing Day at 4:30pm on Channel 4.
The colours, movement of the animated figures and music evoke the themes of the book so beautifully. An independent crafter, Karine (whose blog can be found here), was commissioned to knit the main character’s outfit – how cool is that?!
Studio aka has done some amazing stuff. I have previously blogged about Helen Ward and Marc Craste’s book, Varmints, which Studio aka made into a film, directed by Marc. If you haven’t seen it already, Jo Jo in the Stars, their multi-award-winning production is also must-viewing.

Oh! Can we lobby the ABC to screen it here? And SOON?!
Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Hi, My sister and I just left a butterfly award over at our blog for you. Thanks for all the very cool links and resources. We’ll have to keep an eye out for this film when it is released in the US. Enjoy the holiday season!
