Welcome to Animation Supplies

It was another excellent year at the Annecy Animation Festival. Although we spent most of our time on our MIFA stand, we were lucky enough to see "My Life as a Courgette". It's a wonderful stop motion feature which we can't wait to come out on DVD so we can see it again! The puppets and the sets are so well made and the standard of the animation and storytelling is exceptional. It's a must see for any stop motion fan.

"My Life as a Courgette" scooped the Annecy Cristal prize, which is the top award at the festival. Well done to Claude Barras and his team.
