Enjoy two fabulous sea themed adventures based on the picture books written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

The Snail and The Whale | Dir: Max Lang & Daniel Snaddon |2019 | 27 min

Join the snail on the tail of a great big grey-blue humpback whale on their journey around the globe. In the unlikely friendship between an ambitious sea snail and a humpback whale, discover the power of the sea and the perils of swimming too close to the shore…. Can the snail save the whale when he is beached in a secluded bay?

Tiddler | Dir: Andy Martin & Alex Bain | 2024 | 24 min

Every day Tiddler tells a different story to his teacher and his friend Johnny Dory about why he’s late for school. His stories stretch from riding on seahorses or swimming around a shipwreck to being captured by a squid! His stories are so great that word of mouth helps them travel through the ocean so, when Tiddler gets lost, he realises they may help him find a way home.
