The animated short debuts on October 19.
The Big Picture Max has unveiled a new trailer for its upcoming original animated short film, Peter and the Wolf. The movie is based on symphonies of Sergei Prokofiev’s classic fairytale and gives it a contemporary touch with music and narration by Gavin Friday and artwork based on original illustrations by Bono, from his book of the same name.
The trailer instantly transports you to the slick 2D world which has a gothic touch enhanced by the black and white color schemes. We see a young Peter trying to come to terms with the loss of his parents and “facing the darkness alone.” But adventure calls as a wolf is on the loose in neighboring woods and Peter decides to catch him with the help of friends he found in most unexpected ways.
The animated short follows Peter, a grieving 12-year-old who lost his parents and is now in the care of his grandfather. While still coping he hears stories of a wolf on the loose and decides to explore the vast meadow and forest nearby to try and find the wolf himself. As he embarks on this adventure, he finds friends who help him on his quest.
What’s ‘Peter and the Wolf’ About? In Prokofiev’s musical composition, the narrator tells a children's story, while the orchestra illustrates it by using different instruments to play a "theme" that represents each character. The animated short reimagines the classic fairytale to reach the contemporary audience with good musical numbers and enchanting visuals.
The animated film differentiates itself from the other animated features that we saw this year via its musical symphonies, lack of dialogues, slick 2D animation, and a compelling fairytale at heart. The themes are as relevant for a younger audience as it’s for adults which makes it a great family watch. Peter & The Wolf is directed by Elliot Dear and Stephen McNally and the producer is Adriana Piasek-Wanski.
