Down in the Dumps
Modern fairytale about being good just the way you are, starring a ladybug.
A unique, hand-colored animated film about the perfectionist ladybug Cinelli. When her red shell is stolen by the jealous and clumsy cockroach Peri, she ends up in a deep, dark hole. What’s the point of life if you’re not perfect? While Peri learns just how much pressure Cinelli is under, she herself comes to realize that even without her shell, she is enough.
