Enjoy a colorful collection of short films from around the world, hand-picked as audience and jury favorites from the 2012 New York International Children's Film Festival. Kids and kids at heart will love this collection of short films that include a film about a quirky, black and white paper cut-out car race, a film about two cute-as-buttons Japanese puppets traveling to Abbey Road to find inspiration and shoot the video for their ukulele cover version of "Twist and Shout," and a sweet film adapted from the enormously popular Gruffalo picture books by British author Julia Donaldson.

Before the screening, the Houston Public Library will host a special reading of Gruffalo to set the mood. This collection of films and activities is suited for audiences ages 4 and up.
