The film is about a painting of a cheetah that gets struck by lightning and comes out of the picture to wreak havoc on the other paintings in the gallery.

Pat Irwin

We need always for the children to work in teams, and we need the animations they make to have some kind of link to each other. And the character of the cheetah jumping from painting to painting was the perfect link. And the actual painting itself that the children have chosen was perfect for their team, it gave them their feeling of identity with the film.

Dave Ingham

Head of Art at Mossley Hollins High School says “Each group, we ask them to decide one of them needed to be a director who would organise everything, and one of them would be the camera person and another two or three members of the team would be actual animators moving the characters about. They had to be quite disciplined because they each had a couple of hours using the camera.
