Description

From Michael Sporn Animation, Inc.
Narrated By Danny GLover

Winner-Parent's Choice Award!

From the Creator of Whitewash & The Hunting of the Snark!

When a young girl named Selina befriends a mystical elderly woman, magical things happen--not the least of which is the surprise of three talking eggs. But when her selfish younger brother gets involved, he's in for some surprises too--of a very different kind! Based on a Creole folk tale, The Talking Eggs is a richly textured animated fable that encourages children to find their untapped potential and to pursue their dreams.

Champagne uses the wonderful animation of Michael Sporn to tell the true story of a young teen-age girl (named Champagne) whose mother is incarcerated for murder. Living in a Catholic Children's home that is run by an order of nuns, Champagne provides poignant commentary about her mother, her own situation, and her outlook for the future. Starring the voice of the real-life Champagne, this award-winning film shows how hope can spring forth even in the most challenging of times.


"Gifted animator Michael Sporn's adaptation of The Talking Eggs is so captivating...one of many award-winning programs from this fine filmmaker!" -Booklist
