“RTÉjr are once again delighted to be able to support emerging animation directors and creators, which is at the very core of this scheme,” Suzanne Kelly, Head of Children’s & Young People’s Content, RTÉ, said.

The six stand-alone shorts are made by six different highly acclaimed Irish animation companies, including Studio Meala and Adventureverse.

Each explores different interpretations of the home using a variety of characters and storylines.

‘Envelope’ looks at how grandparents represent the feeling of home, while ‘Dembaya’ shows a child adapting to their new home in Ireland.

“They all deliver such touching, heartfelt films, I urge everyone young and old to seek them out across RTÉjr and the RTÉ Player,” Kelly added.
