The Nightingale Trailers

A short, stop-frame animation. The film uses puppets to tell Hans Christian Andersen's tale about the song of a nightingale heard by the little kitchen girl at the Emperor of China's palace.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
