Illuminated Films

Iain Harvey is the man behind Illuminated Films success. He’s responsible for making classic animations like the ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and ‘The Snowman’. I recently discovered them after reading the book ‘Animation Now!‘ by Anima Mundi/ Ed. Julius Wiedemann, which is very good for getting creative inspiration from. I’ve always loved their films and it’s good to know the people who make them, although their latest venture into animated feature film with the 2001 Christmas Carol wasn’t much to shout about. I hope to see more from them soon.
