The secret of the ice flower

Jacob Ley, Denmark, 2012

27 min.DK/Short fictionChildren's films, Animation

The first time Humbug tries his hands on magic, he accidentally shoots Grandpa's magic wand far into the valley of the little green peas, where he meets Bogus, who changes his perception of life. The two friends return with a different, and somewhat more magical wand, than the one Grandpa has used his entire life. But when Humbug tries to master the art of magic a second time, he looses his Grandpa in the act. Bogus' unfailing good spirits inspires Humbug to reinvent the myth of his Grandpa, and ultimately to fight his own heritage, to save Bogus, and give the valley a magical show they'll never forget!

Jacob Ley is director of animation at Copenhagen Bombay, founded by former Zentropa producer Sarita Christensen and director Anders Morgenthaler in 2006 and by now a dynamic production company and animation studio with an ambition to nurture the offbeat and quirky sides of children and family entertainment
