THE society in West Wickham recently had a visit from members of Class Films, who brought along their outstanding animation film, Escape From Freedom.
This is a 46-minute film using cell-drawn, stop-frame animation. It took 13 years to complete during which time, sadly, both originators of the idea had died.
It tells the story of animals in a zoo which did not have enough funds to feed them.
The parrot urges them to escape and make their way to a safari park with abundant supplies.
Eventually, after many adventures, they reach the park where they are welcomed by long lost relations.
The quality of the drawings and animation especially the "lip synch" of the animals talking was absolutely superb.
For further information on the society's activities please contact Keith Burrows on 020 8776 1812.
