Have you got any cabbage?

Our Director's Manual shows you how to give your tazz characters facial expressions

Animation is all about moving your actors in small steps around your set and taking photographs of them for each movement.

It could be drawings, but using plasticine and our ANIMATAZZ EASY-ACTION figure, you can get animating your own characters in no time at all and you don’t need to be a good drawer.

With your Animatazz plasticine, you can dress them up in clothes and give them personalities of their own. We even give you a backdrop for your movie set, but of course you can make up your own with cereal boxes, or coloured card, or even just use a corner of your own bedroom with a few toys as props.

Children from Belfast turned this traditional Belfast skipping song into a short animated movie. Our story was influenced by “Riverdance” and the dance scene for “I want to be in America” from the movie “West Side Story”. We studied clips from both, as well as making a storyboard to plan the production.
