Fear of Flying

Hello! How was your weekend? I thought this might be a sweet way to perk up a Monday. 

I remember falling in love with this beautiful animated short at the Galway Film Fleadh way back in 2012, so when Ben told me he’d spotted it online, I couldn’t wait to share it here. 

Fear of Flying, directed by Conor Finnegan, is the story of a small bird who is too scared to fly and tries to avoid heading south for the winter. It’s impossibly cute and very funny – watch it below.

Wasn’t that adorable? The dude with the Ross O’Carroll Kelly accent gets me every time. Click here for a glimpse at how it was (very cleverly) made.
