The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Evelyn Lambart's well-known style of animation, using paper figures and brightly coloured backgrounds, is once again in evidence in this short film based upon an Aesop fable. This simple story tells the tale of two mice with different lifestyles, and suggests that it is far better to live simply and in peace than to live in luxury amidst danger. Film without words.

Village of Idiots

Weary of daily life in his native village of Chelm, Shmendrik sets out on a quest for knowledge that brings him to a new Chelm, a place remarkably like the old Chelm, down to the chicken's reminiscent clucks. Based on a Jewish folk tale, adapted by John Lazarus, Village of Idiots is the story of Shmendrik's new life and its uncanny closeness to his old life; offering an extremely funny take on our tendency to romanticize what we don't have. The animators filmed paper cut-outs on layers of glass to achieve the rich, textured visuals.
