Peter and the Wolf

Peter & the Wolf is a short Polish-British-Norwegian model animation film released in 2006. It was written and directed by Suzie Templeton, made in Se-ma-for Studios in Łódź, and has been shown both in cinemas and with live musical accompaniment. The film is based around the story of Peter and the Wolf and is set to the music Sergei Prokofiev wrote for the story in 1936. In common with other animated shorts such as The Snowman the film has no vocals but relies on music and action to tell the story. A new recording of Prokofiev's music was made to accompany the cinema and... television release. The recording was made by the Philharmonia Orchestra and conducted by Mark Stephenson. On the edge of the vast forests of Russia, where wolves still roam, lies a little cottage surrounded by a big, high fence. This is where Peter lives with his grumpy Grandfather. Grandfather will not let Peter go out into the forest. Peter has a friend, the lovable Duck , with whom he hangs around Grandfather's yard. A Bird with a broken wing arrives in the yard.
