Tale of Snale

 
Snails are not my favourite animal – not by any means.  As a keen gardener I have an aversion to them which sometimes leads to responses bordering on the maniacal. Yet this is quite a heartwarming little tale – a story that transcends the interspecies divide.  Tale of Snale gives us a protagonist who does the right thing when they don’t need to and is effectively rewarded at a later stage.  As such, it’s a very simple story but one that warms the heart (and perhaps remind me that maybe I shouldn’t go too full metal jacket on the creatures in my back yard: not).

Tale of Snale was  created by Griffiths Watkins in their final year at the University of Hertfordshire 2023.  It is the culmination of their degree in 2D Digital Animation and shows a promising talent both for storytelling and animation.
