The Short Story of a Fox and a Mouse

Camille Chaix, Hugo Jean, Juliette Jourdan, Marie Pillier, and Kevin Roger/2017/6.5 min/Wildlife, Environmental Advocacy

FILM DESCRIPTION: Watch this beautiful and touching award-winning 3D animated short as a lonesome fox hunts a mouse—and their relationship evolves as two owls begin to interfere with the hunt.

Blackout

J. Williams-Wood/2013/7 min/People & Cultures, Health, Environmental Advocacy

FILM DESCRIPTION: This adaptation of author and illustrator John Rocco's 2011 picture book—which won acclaim as a Caldecott Honor Book and Best Book of the Year for Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews—features a rousing salsa-ish soundtrack by David Mansfield. Narrated by Oscar-nominee Stanley Tucci, the almost-luminously animated Blackout focuses on a young boy and his family in a city apartment on a hot summer night. Everyone is too busy talking on the phone, cooking, etc., to play a board game, so the protagonist turns to video games. . . until “the lights…went. . . out. . . all of them.” What happens next is a surprising delight.

Hopper’s Day

Jingqi Zhang/2021/5 min/Water, Wildlife

ONE EARTH YOUNG FILMMAKERS CONTEST ANIMATION WINNER

FILM DESCRIPTION: Water is a precious resource in an abandoned quarry, where a small cricket finds himself competing for access with an army of ants while trying to avoid a hungry crow and lizard. The water he seeks is not just for himself, but for his glorious garden oasis hidden in an old boot.
