The film is an experimental and playful attempt to explore how animation, particularly mixed media animation can be used to communicate narratives in unexpected and exciting ways that enhance the original story.

Gegner nach Maß

It doesn't help that he cuts his opponent smaller and smaller and finally even sticks him down with glue.

Sir John Lubbock’s Pet Wasp

Dec 31, 2018

Sir John Lubbock’s true story and his scientific writings on Ants, Bees & Wasps stood out as contemporary for the co-directors, Osbert Parker & Laurue Hill who worked in collaboration. Themes of cultural displacement, civilisations and environmental concerns were found in their interpretation of Lubbock’s story still relevant today. A diverse range of techniques from, stop-motion, 2D cut-out’s and digital animation is combined to tell a bizarre and beautiful love story with a sting in its tale.
