The project benefited immensely from this collaboration, and while Adrians details draw you into the world, Max’s themes provide the heart to the film’s emotional narrative. The resulting 26-minute film features narration by the great Jim Broadbent and a soundtrack balanced between the beautiful (and award-winning) music written by Max Richter – who amazingly agreed to score the film – and the incredible sound design of Adrian Rhodes from De Lane Lea Studios.

This does not pan out entirely as expected, and the boy comes to realize what he has really left behind. After a mildly terrifying encounter with a giant octopus ( no spoilers, but all is not what it seems) the boy delivers on his promise and returns the penguin to the South Pole.

Along the way, there are comedic moments involving the correct etiquette when offered fish, thoughtful non-sequiturs involving plastic ducks, and some stark reminders of just how scary the ocean can be. The journey to the South Pole proves arduous in the boy’s rowboat. The decision to interpret the originally hand-drawn book into a 3D CGI film was borne out of a desire to leave the original book ‘untouched’ and let the film, with its adapted storyline, be a stand-alone companion piece rather than simply a ‘moving version’ of the book. Oliver was exceptional in his trust that we could adapt his original short story to the longer length required and based on the shared belief we had that a half-hour is a perfect micro-feature length for young children. Lost And Found is one of those fortunate projects that happened out of the blue when executive producer Joan Lofts proposed making a half-hour film of Oliver’s book. Such is the premise of Oliver Jeffers multi-award-winning children’s picture book and the starting point for this wildly successful adaptation (BAFTA for Best Children’s animation, Annecy Crystal for Best Television Special, & a total of 61 International Awards!). What is a Boy to do when a Penguin turns up at his door?įind out where it came from, of course, and return it- even if it means rowing to the South Pole.
