"Water" - The cycle of water as told by children -
This animation was made by 22 Italian children (7 years old).
It's the second fruit of a school project (art class).
The goal of the first movie was not to make a nice animated movie. It had educational purposes: to allow the children to be creative and freely experiment first, then look for problems and solutions in a collaborative way.
The goal of this second movie is also to let the children put in practice all the animation technics they learned by experience.
A 13min simple documentary for children about the Making of "Acqua" is available at http://www.archive.org/details/RaffaellaTraniello2BRoncagliaThemakingofAcqua
