From the Archives: A History of Give Up Yer Aul Sins #Documentary





The year is nearly over and as we prepare ourselves for a new year of stellar animation work and new tech innovations, we find ourselves reminiscing about the early days and our humble beginnings! So we've peaked back into our archives and found this wonderful gem, A History of Give Up Yer Aul Sins, a documentary on the making-of our classic Oscar nominated short!

Containing interviews with Cathal and Darragh from way back when, Willie Kavanagh (EMI Records), Rod Stoneman (Irish Film Board), Roddy Doyle (Author) and more, the documentary details the transformation of the original recordings made by Peig Cunningham in the 1960s into animation 40 years later, the experience of the 74th Academy Awards, and the crew behind the short.

Hope you enjoy diving back in time with us as much as we did!
