A reimagining of the classic fairytale for modern audiences. With music and narration by Gavin Friday and artwork based on original illustrations by Bono, this 30m TV special transforms Sergei Prokofiev’s symphony with contemporary visuals into a tale that touches on themes of growing up, loss, courage, transformation and our relationship with nature.

Featuring a juxtaposition of traditional hand-drawn 2D animation combined with a physical set-built world, we follow a grieving 12-year-old Peter, who is in the care of his grandfather after enduring the loss of a parent. Upon hearing stories of a wolf on the loose, Peter decides to explore the vast meadow and forest nearby to try and find the wolf himself. 

Working with our extensive team of model makers, directors Stephen McNally and Elliot Dear built and filmed all the environments as miniatures in our London-based studio before seamlessly compositing the 2D hand-drawn character animation into the physical set world, using the interplay of light and shade to blend the animated characters into the model-made environments.

The production originated from a 2003 project between childhood friends Bono and Friday to support the Irish Hospice Foundation, a national charity supporting those facing dying, death and bereavement.
