Working with Pollock’s Toy Museum, this animation draws upon the traditions of toy theatre through the means of digital media and reinterpretation for a modern audience. The piece also contributes to the on going digitization of the Museum’s archive. The animation seeks to challenge traditional themes of narrative structure through the use of digital media. The visuals, although influenced by 19th Century designs and rendered into a three dimensional effects with depth and lighting. The work follows on from that done with “Ali Baba and the forty Thieves.” The text is adapted from the 1844 version of John Kilby Green (1790 -1860) – the story explores notions of the relationship between royalty and the public and echoes events in Britain and Europe during the 20th Century.Citation
