Anima Saturdays

PROGRAM

One Saturday a month, we screen animated films for children – gems that are rarely or never shown in Belgium. The Animateam carefully curates a selection of short films for young movie lovers. Come enjoy them from the comfy seats of Studio 5 in Flagey!

The Epic Adventures of Morph features Morph, his sidekick Chas and their old pals Delilah, Grandmorph and The Very Small Creatures. Morph and the gang are up to all their usual mischievous antics but in bigger and bolder adventures. The artist’s studio where they live and the desk they call home is the perfect place for the extraordinary to happen, and it often does!

Every year, monsters have only one day to haunt the streets and scare children before returning to Halloween Land... But how can you scare anyone when you're as cute as Gary?
