CGiii Comment

A re-imagining of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale. In straight suburbia, in a world comprised entirely of lines and squares, a young boy's love of bright colours and strange fashions only exasperates his family and alienates him from his peers. When even his parents begin to question his provenance, the boy leaves home and begins a magical adventure, meeting a series of characters who not only transform his appearance but helps him to see who he really is.
