Anilogue 2026: Tales From the Magic Garden

Director: Patrik Pass Jr., Jean-Claude Rozec, David Súkup, Leon Vidmar

The three siblings Tom, Suzanne and Derek are spending their first weekend alone with their Grandpa who has become withdrawn since their grandma died. It is a difficult time for them all. But then Suzanne steps into the role of storyteller, just like grandma used to do, and the house fills with magical tales of adventure, humour and fantasy. It is a cherished family tradition that everyone adds their own ingredient to the stories, and this helps them all to rediscover the healing power of storytelling. As joy and laughter return to the house, the children and their grandpa forge a deeper connection, finding solace and strength in their shared memories. A stop-motion animation about how storytelling can help us to navigate life’s challenges with love and imagination.
