Milk: When she sees an old man unable to pay for his milk, a young girl has a change of heart.

Jump!: Jump! is a tale of overcoming deep fears and conveying that on the other side of any challenge is an experience that will strengthen your character and stay with you for a lifetime.

A Morning with Aroha: Aroha wants to share her creativity with her neighbours. Her imaginations come to life for everyone to enjoy.

Evan's Drum: In Evan’s Drum, an adventurous young boy and his determined mother share a passion for Labrador Inuit drum dancing.

Hey Cooper: All good dogs deserve a love song.

What We see in the Clouds: A lonely animator seeks companionship through asking her friends to tell her what they see in cloud pictures. She then proceeds to animate their visions.

The Piñata: Lorena is a seven-year-old girl who wants to win the piñatas school contest, where the grand prize is “a bicycle”. But her young age and inexperience will create a very special piñata.

The Devil Will Run: When a seven year old boy named Shah finds a hole in his back yard, he worries that it may be where the Devil gets in and out. His big brother teases and bullies him about this fear, leading Shah to bottle it up and shoulder his anxiety in silence. Shah's best friend Nella is the only person who usually gets him, but he's afraid this may be too much for even her to understand.

Treasures Beneath My Tree: A child reconnects to her fondest memories through a box of treasures she has kept beneath her tree throughout her life.

Just Johnny: Maria, Dermot, and their son Johnny live in West Belfast. Their conventional, straightforward family life takes a sudden turn when Johnny tells his Mum that he wants to wear a dress for his upcoming First Holy Communion.
