“The Chimney Sweep” is a wonderful stop-motion animation by Joseph Mann, set high atop an Edinburgh roof. It’s a delightful animated short, but it’s also so very much more than that. “The Chimney Sweep” quickly and deeply engages the viewer in reflections about issues of developing caring, mutually reciprocal relationships with another. The film quietly provides a gentle illustration of both our needs for the other and the other’s similar wishes, needs for a co-constructed personal involvement that is distinctively characterized by a sense of caring, mutual recognition.

This piece includes a number of beautiful illustrations and the HD animated short, “The Chimney Sweep.”

    • After loosing his sandwich the man took no time in showing where his priority lay. Though he wasn't the boy's father he exhibited the most powerful form of love there is. Parental love.

    • Hi peterinda,

      Yes, this little piece is really sweetly delightful, but at the same time the film is much more than that. For me, it gently provides a deeply touching illustration of our need for caring and encouraging relationships with others.

      Thanks for your comment!

      Best wishes to you.
