Director Johnny Kelly created this set of four beautifully crafted films for Cheerios cereal. The heartwarming series of animations are all aimed at encouraging people to be kind. Themes featured include being comfortable with yourself, how to help counteract bullying, making new friends, and a look at different kinds of families.

The films featured new songs written, composed and performed by Walter Martin, of indie band The Walkmen. A total of 98 puppets were designed by Nous Vous for the shorts, and were brought to life by master puppeteer and model-maker Andy Gent, who is particularly known for his work on Wes Anderson’s films, Isle of Dogs and Fantastic Mr Fox.
