Old Fangs Arrives At Sundance

The process of making the film was documented on Adrien’s blog and can be viewed here.

And Cartoon Saloon also have their new animated feature The Secret Of Kells in cinemas on March 6th after it closes the Jameson Dublin Film Fesitval on February 22nd so that’s another date for the ever expanding movie date diary. Which I don’t actually have but could probably do with.
