Give Up Yer Aul Sins (2001) ***

A hilarious re-telling of the story of John the Baptist. This 5-minute cartoon, nominated for an Academy Award, is part of a series of 8 films produced by Brown Bag Films. They use old recording by little children in their religious studies classes in Dublin back in the 1960s. Their teacher introduced a cassette recorder as an incentive to the children to learn the Bible stories with the suggestion that they'd be on the radio if they did a good job. The recordings were forgotten for thirty years before being discovered again. Excerpts were played on Irish radio, touching a cord with listeners, and Brown Bag Films begin to animate the collection.
