A clever short animated film based on the idea of not smoking ! It reminded me of a more innocent 70’s era children’s tv show, not only in the gentle voiceover by Michael Somerset Ward, but also the slow pace and simplified character style.
The Boy Who Turned Yellow was created for Now Will You Listen!, an illustrated audio visual book of short horror stories and surreal poetry from musician/writer Mick Somerset Ward and Dean and Jarrod of I Monster. The collection was premiered as a live performance at the Lantern Theatre in Sheffield during the Sensoria Festival 2013.
