Tony, Shelly and the Magic Light & Kids Art Workshop

11-year-old Tony, who glows, is kept indoors by his overprotective parents. His lonely life changes when Shelly, neglected by her ballerina mum, moves in next door. Tony invites Shelly into his blanket fort, where she shares a magical torch that creates dreamlike worlds. Together, they journey to uncover the source of a dark force that drains sunlight and thrives on fear and hatred. Inspired by Jiri Trnka and paying homage to Hayao Miyazaki, this enchanting animated film uses pastel colours and charming metaphors to tell a heartwarming story of friendship, imagination, and the power of being different.
