When five-year old Nell yearns for trainers which flash, imagination proves a powerful thing.

"A wonderful piece of cinema; a well told and moving story and a visual feast to boot."
Jonny Persey, Producer, Deep Water, Wondrous Oblivion

"Who wouldn't be charmed by this delightful tale of a young girl who wants flashing shoes! Set to a jazzy beat, clever cutting and an interesting staccato effect in the animation the film moves along nicely to a joyous conclusion."
Richard Bazley, Animator, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Pocahontas, Hercules

Meme en animation, tu sembles exceller! La aussi les images parlent d'elles meme! Bravo!
Even in animation, you seem to excel! There too, the images speak! Well done!
