Anything is possible in this collection of our favourite synopsis-busting animated gems.

In the world of animation, anything is possible – if you can imagine it, you can create it. The rules that bind theatre, literature or even live action film just don’t apply. This freedom creates a pathway for anybody with a story that just can’t be told in any other form. Also, audiences for animation are usually up for the challenge, and this program parades a collection of our favourite synopsis-busting animated gems.
