The Snail and the Whale has been shortlisted in the 93rd Oscars in the Animated Short Film category. We couldn't be prouder of the amazing team behind this film, including directors Max Lang and Daniel Snaddon; animation by Triggerfish; the whole team at Magic Light Pictures, and of course countless others who made the film possible. Of course, not forgetting the book's writer Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler, where the story began.
