Most Creative Film @2018 Children's Film Festival Seattle

In the world of NHK's hit PythagoraSwitch, marbles travel through a series of ingenious mechanisms made of ordinary things, setting wondrous contraptions into motion. The heroes are the Marble Brothers: Red, Yellow, and Green. But a dark force is not happy about the fact that they always hog the spotlight! With the envious Black Ball Army hot on their heels, the marbles must band together as they face a number of obstacles. Lying in wait are pitfalls, drawbridges, and paper cups! The delightful inanimate heroes come to life in this addictive visual. The simple yet sophisticated presentation is sure to hook children and adults alike.
