Kiddo - Slingshot
2009, 10'19'', puppet stop-motion animated film
Thirteen-year-old Kiddo lives in a small village in the Slovenian Alps. He spends his time with his best friend Cat. Every morning they ride a tricycle to a nearby hill with a giant tree. There is a hollow in the tree, and inside the hollow there is an old book containing plans for toys and gadgets that Kiddo had always wanted to build.
