A Chocolate Story (2014) - Glass Cannon

 

A heart-warming animation based on a true story. At Christmas in 1914, all York men serving in the armed forces were sent a decorative tin full of Rowntree's chocolate. This film follows the confectionery's journey across the Channel to the Western Front; and back again! Written by students at Joseph Rowntree School, animated and directed by Glass Cannon Animation and with an original score by Millie Raw Mackenzie.
