Puppy Takes the Cake!

Hi friends, Kermit the frog here reporting from the Kids Film Fest at Soho's New Museum: According to the jury, 'Puppy's Super Delicious Valentine's Day Biscuits' got the most giggles from the kiddles... so now Puppy takes the cake (and the biscuits) with the Audience Favorite award! Time to celebrate with some gummy worms and coconut chutney :-)





It was a wonderful day, so sunny and bright, when my loyal friends descended with me to the dark basement of the museum to watch the festival lineup.

Little did we know we would be wined and dined with goodies from Kid Robot! We had much fun tearing at the wrapping of our little zoomies, while we waited for the films to start. The fest, run by my friend Lisa King, was a true delight.

In my film, Puppy decides to try and win the heart of his neighbor, Miss Duck, by baking her something special for Valentine's Day. Her unexpected reaction and ingenuity lead to a creative and heartwarming conclusion. One of my other favorite films was 'The Magic Stamp' by Tomoko Oguchi. In this film, a little boy is given a stamp by his grandfather, who tells him that once it is affixed to an envelope, his one wish will come true. This movie is very touching and addresses the priceless love the boy has for his grandfather.

After the fest was over, we went up to the skyroom on the top floor and wandered about taking in the beautiful view of Manhattan. (aargh, the doors to the balcony were sealed!!!) The after party dwindled down to a handful, the most loyal continued on to central park to catch the last rays of sun on the damp grass. Finally we progressed to my sister's house for hot chocolate and dinner, followed by talk of science until late into the night. Thank you Puppy, you never fail to disappoint! (What's this I hear about you making a new friend? More on that TBA...
