In addition to the testimony of Laurence's transformation and its effect on her own life and that of all those around her over the course of a decade, it is also the tale of an impossible, tender, powerful and true love.

  The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001

  ★★★★ Rewatched 02 Jul 2024

  MutantLand 2010

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Dec 2020

  Not a stopmotion as most of Tippett's work, but a great story anyways, dark, realistic and fun. A similar feelin to "Prehistoric Beast": the natural fight to survive.

  Bidoof's Big Stand 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2022

  A Bidoof appreciation shortfilm, this is beautiful! This really encourages me to start my old project of catching a Bidoof in a Safari Ball in Platinum and training it until level 100 (not evolving it, of course), beating the Sinnoh League and then transfer through all games to make him the Champion of all Pokémon Leagues onwards. Gotta love the Bidoof.

  Jokes aside, I really adore all these amazingly done shorts that explore more the stories of the games or the pokémon in the pokémon world. We need more stuff like this.
