MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE

Cert PG

Digital and Disc Monday Plant yourself in front of this gentle and often sadly charming story of an orphan coping with life in a children’s home.

Creative, kind and with the nickname Courgette, our hero’s spirit has an empowering effect on his peers whose poor behaviour stems from their experiences. Using complex traditional stop-motion animation, the skilful storytelling employs humour to smuggle in some dark material so children won’t be scared, but adults will fully comprehend the horrors implied. It’s a blooming marvellous experience.
