The award winning children’s film The Boy and the World is unlike any animated film you’ve ever seen. Set in a sparsely-drawn world full of sparkling color and stark white, the story of a cute little round-headed boy on a quest to reunite his parents plays out on a visually arresting canvas filled with strangely stunning sights and exuberant music that ranges from Brazilian Samba to hiphop. There is no dialogue; just sound, music, and endearing images, as we follow the boy on his hopeful quest that takes him on a journey through elaborate places that range from earthly landscapes to otherworldly cities in the sky. Featuring a variety of drawing styles melded together to imagine a rainbow-hued place that shimmers with creativity, The Boy and the World is a highly unique achievement in animation that sends a message of love and hope in a chaotic world.
