3D Animated Feature and TV Series : TEASER 15M
Goblins stole all of grandpa’s memories...... Anne plans to take back the “memory film” of grandpa who has entered a state of dementia!
Human life is the continuation of oblivion. If humans memorize all things from the past whether important or not, memorable or horrific, all human heads would explode. Or they will suffer from severe depression every single day. That's probably why God allowed forgetfulness to exist, for the sake of human beings. The story begins with the setup of the origin of forgetfulness of men. It is not from its simple biological process, but from goblins' playing, or their way of living. Their world is based on a way of living that involves the stealing of human memories, good ones and bad ones, from them. Good memories are considered high value, bad memories are assessed as cheap. Further, the memories are shown in movie theaters, as movies are one of the most important elements in their lives.
S y n o p s i s
Memories of grandpa have been stolen by goblins... I, Anne, will take back the memories from them... One day, grandpa, who's little Anne’s best friend, enters a state of dementia. Anne journeys into the goblin world in search of the goblins that have stolen grandpa’s entire “memory film”. Goblin world is created from the lost memories of the human mind. Goblins surface in the human world, armed with their bags of memory and goblin scissors to cut the memory film from human minds. This is done only after completing their internship, which includes their committing acts of mischief on human memory, such as forgetfulness. One absolute principle they must keep is that they should not take the entire memory film from a human. That is because the human beings, the origin of the memories which begin to form the goblin world, start to lose the ability of remembering anything from that moment on. Anne, a 6-year-old girl who is stubborn and quarrels with her divorced mom everyday, makes a decision to enter the goblin world to take back grandpa's memories. She recalls a story about goblins that grandpa once related to her some time ago, as grandpa fails to recognize her anymore from his dementia. Anne catches a boy goblin named 'Hobb' by using a cat that is able to see goblins. She then enters the goblin world. Anne will risk being kicked out of the goblin world without memory, and Hobb will not be able to resurface in the human world ever again, if they get caught by goblins. Without being caught, Anne and Hobb must find the memory film of grandpa before it floats out to the river of oblivion. Anne and Hobb will be driven into a mysterious adventure, thwarted by obstructions caused by the mischievous workings of Pixie's mom, who has become a movie plutocrat by broadcasting the loving memories of Anne's dad for his wife, Lucifer goblin, who has committed the crime of stealing grandpa’s entire memory film, and Pixie's gang, who enjoys teasing Hobb incessantly.
