![]() In addition to having just captured a BAFTA Children’s Award for Best Animation, Room on the Broom also has been shortlisted for a nomination in this year’s animated short Oscar category. Now, Max Lang is back, this time teamed with film school buddy Jan Lachauer, to tackle another classic Donaldson and Scheffler tale, Room on the Broom. That was followed up by The Gruffalo’s Child (2011) directed by Johannes Weiland and Uwe Heidschotter, also a successful British Christmas special. Their first effort, The Gruffalo (2009), a hugely popular British Christmas special directed by Jakob Schuh and Max Lang, was nominated for an Oscar. So when it comes to adapting the children’s books of famed authors Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, UK producers Martin Pope and Michael Rose have trusted German animation studio Studio Soi’s unique production style to bring the classic stories to the screen. There’s something to be said for not messing with success. ![]()
