Person
For ages, teddy bears have been locked in a war against their sworn enemy, the unicorns, with the promise that victory will usher in a new era. A beautifully animated journey from the humiliations of teddy bear bootcamp to the psychedelic horrors of the Magic Forest.
No one can escape their roots, however rotten they may be.
The world is a wonderful stage, but its characters are disgraceful.
Birdboy: The Forgotten Children (Spanish: Psiconautas, los niños olvidados; festival title: Psychonauts, the Forgotten Children) is a 2015 Spanish animated drama-horror coming-of-age film written and directed by Alberto Vázquez and Pedro Rivero, based on the comic Psiconautas by Vázquez. It is the follow-up to the pair’s short film Birdboy, following the titular character, a shy outcast in a post-apocalyptic society, and Dinky, a 14 year old mouse runaway fleeing her desolate island home.
A terrible industrial accident changes little Dinki’s life forever. Now Dinki’s fate may ride on the wings of her eccentric friend Birdboy, a misfit who hides in the Dead Forest lost in his fantasies…
Two bears go hunting unicorns, their favourite prey. Unicorns have soft flesh and delicious blueberry-flavoured blood that bears need to stay beautiful.
