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.”
