The London International Animation Festival presents Dazzling Animated Shorts for 5-12 year-olds

We’ve dug deep into the LIAF archives and have selected 12 of the best short animated films full of visually dazzling joy from all around the world, for kids of all ages and the whole family.


Here you will meet charismatic characters and encounter amazing tales such as the man whose job it is to make sure each new day starts on time, a Japanese boy Jiro who unexpectedly catches cat flu and how you should never take gravity for granted.


Animation is the most imaginative and engaging of all art forms and is the perfect platform to enthral and inspire the wide-open imaginations of kids. This programme, carefully selected with our youngest audience in mind, is always popular, and not a toy ad in sight.
