I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. “We want a song about throwing crumpled-up wrapping paper into the bin” was a typical request from the BBC. I became an expert at writing to order on such subjects as guinea pigs, window-cleaning and horrible smells. The busking led to a career in singing and songwriting, mainly for children’s television.

I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.īefore Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country the best one was in Italian about pasta. A wind-up gramophone wafted out Chopin waltzes. Mary and I were always creating imaginary characters and mimicking real ones, and I used to write shows and choreograph ballets for us. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him).

This was definitely a highlight of the New York International Children's Film Festival.

I give Zog and the Flying Doctors 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 8. Zog and the Flying Doctors truly is a magic experience showing off the beauty of animation and heartwarming lessons. The main moral is the idea that you can be anything! Don't let anyone hold you back. The entire plotline supports the idea of helping others and teaches many morals. This is an outstanding film for younger viewers. The animation department really checked all the boxes when it comes to the background and character design. The background scenery is particularly great and really brings this fairytale to life. The animation style in this film is exquisite. Pearl goes on a life changing journey learning about herself and her passions. There is one problem she is a princess! She doesn't want to be a princess, but is obligated by her father (Rob Brydon). The storyline follows a young woman named Pearl (Patsy Ferran) who wants to be a doctor and help everyone in the world.

Zog does carry doctors, but he also carries lots of comedic moments that will make you laugh hysterically. Be ready to be immersed in this heartwarming short film that will make you smile and laugh. Are you ready to embrace the magic of helping people around you? Well if so, the short film Zog and the Flying Doctors is the film for you.
