Tricks for Kids is the children’s film festival of the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) which invites both young and older film lovers to an international journey through the magical world of animated film.
As part of the ITFS Animation Tour it also travels around the world. This best of programme presents a selection of the most beautiful short films for children that were greeted with enthusiastic reception by both young and older audiences.
Topics and stories are diverse and colourful, making audiences wonder, laugh, or think. We can follow the memories of a small bridge to earlier times, accompany a farmer, his cow and a strange blue lion across the world in search of a new home, feel touched by a grandmother’s caring love for her granddaughter, take part in a troll girl’s fight against people’s hostility because of her otherness, with a twinkle in the eye watch a camel’s confrontation with a ball machine and experience how a musician’s love for his instrument gives him the strength to overcome obstacles and find happiness. Discovery, accepting the unfamiliar, having courage and standing up for each other are the themes of these great and extraordinary films.
