Description:
The Bard’s Farmyard was made by children at Tarbolton Primary School, Ayrshire. The children visited the farm where Robert Burns, Scotland’s famous bard, worked as a farm labourer in 1777. Running a farm today is a difficult business, but the animals use their poetic talents to save the day. Stop-motion animation with cardboard cut-outs. [information provided by Jessica Langford]
One of a series of ten animation films made by children in small village primary schools in Scotland, also involving the local community. The series was broadcast on Scottish Television and Grampian Television, and distributed on video through schools and libraries.
