    There is something mesmerisingly artistic about this cleverly crafted animation. There’s a creative oscillographer (Chester Beachill) credited as it opens and it’s clear to see his scientific influences on Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart as the wobbling graphs and pulsations that sometimes symmetrically and sometimes quirkily just off-centre writhe and squiggle for ten colourful minutes to a lively score. It has three-dimensional elements to it and epitomises well the visionary film making techniques of this Scots-Canadian duo as they mix colours and shapes to create an effect that suggests the images are actually dancing on the screen for us. It’s short but sweet and well worth a gander.

Monster High: Welcome to Monster High

Monsters once lived in hiding—even from each other—because they were afraid they would be in danger if humans knew they existed. But Draculaura, the daughter of Dracula, along with her best ghoulfriends, dreamt of a school where everyone was welcome and accepted for who they are. Determined to make their dream come true, the ghouls travel the world on an epic adventure to recruit new students. But even in this amazing place, there's drama: a villainess zombie is spreading trouble rather than friendship, and every student must live with the fear that their secret will be revealed. Now the ghouls must save their school so that every monster has a place where they belong and their uniqueness is celebrated!
