Shaun and Bitzer Send Their Best Wishes to the Mifa
Frequent Festival visitors, Shaun the sheep, his flock and Bitzer are wishing the Mifa a happy birthday.
Open-air screenings, films in the Official Selection, awards won, a conference led by Peter Lord, Share With sessions... Aardman Animations and its stars from Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! and Shaun the Sheep know their way around the Annecy Festival and its Market after years of participation.
Shaun the sheep and his flock – along with special guest, Bitzer, have shown their love through an incredibly original video wishing the Mifa a happy birthday.
The Festival would like to thank Peter Lord, David Sprixton, Rachel Peacock and the whole Aardman team for this very special gift.
This year, the Aardman studio will once again grace us with their presence at the Festival on Friday 19th June with Will Becher leading the conference titled Animating without Dialogue: The Animation in the Feature "Shaun the Sheep Movie". The film will also be shown on the giant screen on the Pâquier the same evening.
