Aston is staring as a cover boy in the Danish poster of “Børnebiffen”.
Børnebiffen is organized by the Danish Film Institute to give municipalities and theaters in whole Denmark the possibility to screen quality children’s films.
You can also see our Spot and Splodge in Snowstorm (or as they call it “Prik og Plet i sneen“) in one of the Danish film packages.
And soon they will also have our Spot and Splodge at the Dentist in Danish.
Just before the premiere in the theatres in France, 30 November, our French distributor Les Films Du Preau created a PDF document that can be downloaded and also be used as an exhibition in cinemas with what they call The Secrets of the Producion (Secrets de fabrication).
Here’s the link to that document. Though it’s in French it’s easy it’s follow.

Since last year Aston’s Stones has been doing greatly as a theater play at Teater Pero. Apart from being played in Pero’s theater in Stockholm it has been touring Sweden and even had a visit to Copenhagen. Until now they’ve been playing Aston more than 220 times on stage! The play is based on the book by Lotta Geffenblad, but the theater group made it’s on interpretation with great music and and pantomime acts. They do speak though …
Our latest pre-school feature “Spot and Splodge on the spot” will be out in the theaters in sweden on 4th November.
After a few years of work we can finally proudly present 6 new stories about Spot and Splodge.
Our distributor is Folkets Bio.
Tidningen Vi Föräldrar skriver om Prick och Fläck.
“De har varit på pricknick, tandtrollat, snöat in, varit hemliga och stått på öronen – men bara i bokform och som teaterpjäs. Nu äntligen finns prisbelönta Lotta Geffenblads kaninduo Prick och Fläck som animerad film: 43 minuters utflykt till deras eget prickfläckiga, absurda mikrokosmos. Geffenblad och maken Uzi låg bakom den fantastiska filmen Bland tistlar som vann en hel drös internationella priser. Att de återigen presterat ett epos för vita duken är inte bara på pricken i höst – utan en begivenhet. Bara att passa på! Kolla närmaste biograf på folketsbio.se.”
Spot and Splodge at the Dentist are in Chicago int. Children’s film Festival right now.
The festival is in it’s 28th year. It’s the largest festival of films for children in North America and one of the only Academy Award qualifying children’s film festivals in the world.
