Animadrid - Animated Film Festival

Ventured into the Madrid suburbs today for Animadrid - the annual animated film festival hosted in Pozuelo (pause for useless celebrity fact - Ronaldo lives here).  Saw some adorable animated shorts which I enjoyed as much as the kids in the audience. Definitely worth a visit before it finishes next Thursday.

Particuar highlights from the screening I attended were;

The Gruffalo - I'd never seen this before. Adorable rhyming à la Dr. Seuss (that was lost in the translated subtitles for the Spaniards though)


Cukas Laime - This cracked me up. The city pigs visit the countryside for a holiday of carefully timed scoffing from the trough followed by dozing. The trough extending from the trunk of the car was genius. I love these little quirky details.

Wollmond - Funny little story about a determined grandmother knitting the moon an outfit. Unfortunately she doesn't take into account the moons changing shape...

Sweets and rollerblading

Brilliant day watching the talent at the Spanish leg of World Slalom Series.Plus they threw haribo into the crowd - yum.

Next stop retiro to become as good as these guys...
