BreakThru Films has announced the European DVD release of Peter & the Wolf, a half-hour stop-motion animated adaptation of Sergei Prokofiev’s classical music piece which tells the tale of a boy who courageously outsmarts and captures a wolf that has been stalking his grandfather’s country home. Available today, Nov. 20, the film can be found in music and DVD stores across the U.K. and Europe, and can also be purchased online at www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/home.do and www.amazon.co.uk/.
BAFTA-winning animator Suzie Templeton (Dog) collaborated with the Philharmonia Orchestra and classical music specialists to bring the time-honored tale of Peter & the Wolf to the screen. In the film, Peter slips the guard of his haunted, over-protective grandfather and, with help from a crazy bird and a dreamy duck, manages to put an end to the lurking threat.
A trailer for the short and additional information can be found at www.breakthrufilms.co.uk. In addition to being released on DVD, the film is screening during a series of live orchestral performances. For details on upcoming live events, go to www.breakthrufilms.co.uk/list_of_screenings.htm.
