Me and My Moulton is a 2014 Canadian-Norwegian animated short film written and directed by Torill Kove.[1] It premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 87th Academy Awards.[3]
Plot
Me and My Moulton is a humorous autobiographical short film based on Kove's experiences as a 7-year-old girl in Norway, one of three sisters who long for a bicycle. The film explores the emotions of Kove's character, who is often embarrassed by their unorthodox architect parents.[4]
Kove was quoted in a Toronto Star article as saying the story had been on her mind for years and that her goal was to convey a girl’s conflicting feelings about her parents: “These feelings are not easy for kids. It’s confusing when you don’t have all the insights that you get later in life to realize your parents embarrass you but at the same time you really love them. There are mixed emotions.”[4]
Critical reception
The Academy Award nomination was the third for Kove, who was also nominated for My Grandmother Ironed the King's Shirts and her Oscar-winning The Danish Poet, and the 73rd nomination for the National Film Board of Canada.[4] In March 2015, the film was named Best Animated Short at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards.[5]
