Sir Quentin Blake is a famous artist most known for his illustrations for the children's author Roald Dahl, and a new project is underway to turn one of his own illustrative storybooks into an animated short film.
The animated film will be called 'Clown Thrown Away,' and is inspired by Sir Quentin Blake's storybook 'Clown.' The story will be about a toy Clown that has been thrown away into a bin of unwanted toys, and the Clown works to get itself and its fellow discarded toys out of the bin. The animated film will not have any dialogue, only visuals and music in order to portray its uplifting story.
The project is currently campaigning for funds on Kickstarter.
