    The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb 12A

    Dir: Dave Borthwick, UK 1999, 1hr

    David Borthwick of the bolexbrothers presents his revolutionary ‘pixilation’ technique, mixing frame-by-frame animation of live actors with standard stop-motion animated models in his dark, twisted, yet enchanting version of the classic fairytale. Set in a dystopian world of dark and shadowy tenements, shining high-tech labs and hallucinatory landscapes of garbage and ruins, The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb makes a touching hero of the thumb-high child mysteriously born in a lab full of mutant creatures. He narrowly escapes into a world in which he finds companionship with people his own size and begins to wage a war against the human ‘giants’.
