Koyaa the Extraordinary
2011, 3', puppet stop motion animated film
A new day is dawning up on the rocky ledge. Koyaa is stretching in front of his house. Nearby, Mr Raven is reading a book. Koyaa doesn't notice that his shoelaces are untied, which causes him to take a clumsy fall. He ties the laces back together, but they come untied again, extract themselves from Koyaa’s shoes and start making a ruckus on the rocky ledge. What will Koyaa do to fix the mess?
