Having screened in more than 50 festivals worldwide and winning over a dozen top festival awards - including twice qualifying for Oscar nomination consideration, this eight-minute animated short-film described by film-critic Michael Medved as "artful and engaging...a skillful, thought-provoking, densely packed work with world class animation", has captivated audiences around the world with its stunning beauty and heartfelt message that resonates with children and adults alike. Animation World Magazine calls it "luminous...a visual stunner, a you-are-there tour of the inside of a household world we're all too big to ever visit" and Dr. Ted Baehr, Founder/Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE, gives the film his "highest commendation" declaring that "The Mantis Parable equals the best work that Pixar has ever done. Superb filmmaking. Subtle, transformative, and animated with an incredible attention to detail. It is excellent."
