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: 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.

Hopper’s Day

Jingqi Zhang/2021/5 min/Water, Wildlife

FILM DESCRIPTION: Water is a precious resource in an abandoned quarry, where a small grasshopper competes for access with an army of ants while trying to avoid a hungry crow and lizard. The water Hopper wants is not just a selfish desire, but for a glorious garden oasis hidden in an old boot.

Recommended for ages 3 to 8+.
