Blue Peter - Delphine and the Imaginary Menagerie

Directed by Åsa Lucander, this powerful animation was inspired by the words of eight year old Blue Peter viewer Delphine, and premiered in front of world leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference COP26.

Aardman transformed Delphine’s winning words into a 2D animated film narrated by Nina Sosanya, with a soundtrack performed and recorded by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The animation tells the story of a little girl of the future whose grandmother has an old book featuring animals that now exist only in her memories, with the little girl wondering how past generations could allow such creatures as tigers, chameleons and flamingos to become extinct.
