    An adult animated version of the Grimm tale that you won't be taking the kids to. Into a surreal landscape of mutants and insects is born poor Tom. His parents fail to protect him from kidnappers' who conduct a series of bizarre medical experiments on our hero. Escaping, Tom befriends a Giant who inadvertently kills him, releasing him into an afterlife that is not harps, clouds and angels. Director Dave Borthwick must have been delighted when the BBC extended this from a ten minute short to a full length feature but not everyone will enjoy being exposed to his nightmarish vision.

    An Experience.......

    Tom Thumb, what a chap. When asked to explain this film to a friend, i was unable to due to the incredible weirdness and mind bending qualities of the picture.

    Very surreally but effectively filmed, just think morph living in the real world.

    However i do advise not to watch this film under the influence!
