FAMILY SHORTS
FFILMIAU BYRION I'R TEULU
It’s time to head to the cinema for a playful, relaxed screening especially for families.
Family Shorts brings together 11 short animated films from around the world – each just a few minutes long, making this an ideal first cinema experience or a perfect choice for kids who like variety. Expect singing bats, sheep made of clouds, an artistic cat and lots of magic and imagination along the way.
This is a child-friendly screening. Kids are welcome to wriggle in their seats, rustle snacks, react out loud and be kids! The programme is recommended for 5+ due to moments of mild peril (roughly the same level as Moana) – you know your child best, so if you think they’ll love it, they’re totally welcome.
Independent animation for kids – where else can you see that?!
A note for parents and carers:
This is a relaxed, welcoming screening. Children don’t need to sit still or stay silent — movement, noise and curiosity are all part of the experience. If your child needs a break, you’re free to come and go as needed.
