The Willow Pattern Story - new film from animation workshops

Storytelling through animation helps children develop a broad range of skills - from literacy to art and drama, computer skills to critical and cultural appreciation. 
This short animation, produced by a group of children at a two day animation workshop with filmmaker Alastair Nisbet at Dorchester Arts, is a re-telling of the centuries-old story of the Willow Pattern.
A beautiful princess… an evil suitor, and the hapless palace guard - they all feature in this charming version of the classic story, depicted on Willow pattern china across the world.
