Description
The Talespinners Collection is an exceptional and vibrant series of short animated films for children aged 5 - 9. Adapted from books, each film is based on an acclaimed cross-cultural children's story that will engage young viewers with appealing characters and dynamic storylines, while sparking their imaginations with finely crafted animation.
The stories, chosen for their timeless appeal, explore a range of multicultural themes - identity, diversity, belonging, traditions and ceremonies, learning to fit in, the value of principles and convictions. Each centres on a character that children can identify with, delivered through charming narratives in age-appropriate language, providing an effective way to encourage positive attitudes and understanding among children.
Acclaimed children's authors Paul Yee, Itah Sadu, Rachna Gilmour and Robert Munsch wrote some of the stories. Other writers represent cultural communities from across the country, showing how rich Canadian culture becomes with each new generation of writers and artists.
