Lucky Dip

This remarkable stop motion short film has a quintessential, hard-to-define sombre tone. A young girl visits a fairground pier on a grey and rainy day. She enters an arcade and attempts to win a toy rabbit from a machine, all the time watched over by a seemingly threatening figure with facial piercings. The twist comes as the rabbit, once won, turns out to be not such a cuddly toy as she expected – while the scary man is kind and helpful to her. The tale provides a way to discuss pre-judgement and the importance of different perspectives. The moody and eccentric aesthetic of this short film will provide a memorable experience for young viewers as they consider themes of tolerance and expectation in their own lives.
