Paco Vink, who together with Albert ’t Hooft founded the animation studio AniKey in Holland, has announced that the company has recently finished the 25 minute traditionally animated film Paultje en de Draak (Paul And The Dragon). Intended for children aged 5-13 years old who are suffering with cancer, the film, which is based on the life of a real boy, Paul Sanders, who had cancer at the age of ten and survived, aims to help both the children and their parents as they battle the disease. Uniquely Paul And The Dragon, which will be distributed throughout hospitals in Holland on the 15th of February (International Childhood Cancer Day), has no spoken dialogue, which AniKey hope will be a big plus in being able to spread Paul And The Dragon‘s message internationally. The film’s combination Dutch-English language website presents an online trailer and more on the making of the film.
