Set amidst the euphoric madness of a summer music festival, Robot & Scarecrow is a uniquely modern fairytale about love. When a robot pop princess flees her keeper she runs straight into the arms of a lonely scarecrow desperate for adventure. They spend an incredible night together, caught in a heady vortex of music and magic. Captured at Secret Garden Party by visionary south London director Kibwe Tavares, this short film is the studio’s first project in character animation.
