I'll Water Your Petals With Tears (2003)

A few decades ago, there were adverts on television in the UK for British Gas that used an animated blue flame as a character. This reminded me very much of those, only here it's not a flame but an equally adaptable drop of water that is desperate to impress a bright pink rose that's growing nearby. Sadly, the flower's owner has a vase awaiting the flower but perhaps a single petal, some love and some time might just unite them again? I did like the style of the animation here using some lovely etched drawings of the buildings, the black cat and the detail on the flower as the tory evolves. It's sympathetically scored and has moments of amiable light-heartedness too as it effortlessly glides along for ten minutes reminding us of the fragility and the resilience of life.
