Description

TAAFI's Toronto Animation Film Festival is a hybrid festival for the first time ever! Six cartoony-packed days celebrating over 100 animated films and their creators. Plan some time to come back out in person or sit back and recharge while hiding away in your bunker to watch! Or both!

Feast on weird, beautiful and awe inspiring cartoons from around the world, all from the comfort of your couch or Hot Docs' comfiest seats available. It's happening IN PERSON from February 13 - 18.

It’s "Bambi meets Apocalypse Now" in this provocative and strangely beautiful horror comedy from acclaimed filmmaker and illustrator Alberto Vazquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children), who uses its outrageous candy-colored premise to explore religious zealotry, the tortured legacies of military fascism, and the depths of the soul.

For ages, teddy bears have been locked in an ancestral war against their sworn enemy, the unicorns, with the promise that victory will complete the prophecy and usher in a new era. Aggressive, confident teddy bear Bluet and his sensitive, withdrawn brother Tubby could not be more different. As the rigors and humiliation of teddy bear bootcamp turn to the psychedelic horrors of a combat tour in the Magic Forest, their complicated history and increasingly strained relationship will come to determine the fate of the entire war.
