- Summary
- COI synopsis: Reporter Alex Tetteh-Lartey visits a studio where animated films are made. He finds that hundreds of drawings are needed to make just a few minutes of film. And, when the artists have finished, a team of skilled technicians takes over. He gets a preview of the result of their labours - some new animated films for children that will be shown in African countries.
