The Danish Poet

In my younger years I'd made annual efforts to attend animation festivals as they rolled through town and were screened at the Camera cinemas. I love good, creative, artist animation, especially when the story is entertaining, heartwarming and human. I've not gone to a showing for some years but fortunately, there was an event at Apple this week that revived my interest. Unfortunately, I only had time to sit for a few, but one left a lasting impression. The Danish Poet. It's wonderful, funny, and touching. And it's up for an Academy Award as well. I hope it garners it the necessary recognition, and that it becomes available to the general public.
