Benjamin Bat
Animation, 2024, 85 min.
The sensitive and musical Benjamin is being mocked by his bat family because he’s afraid of the dark. When on top of that he falls in love with a bird, the sworn enemy of bats, he becomes a complete outcast. But his love will help him conquer his fear and stand for who he truly is.
Benjamin Bat is small and not very brave. His family doesn’t think very much of him. And when he happens to fall in love with the tropical songbird Sherida, everything changes. Birds are bats’ arch enemies, aren’t they? Benjamin has to stand up for himself and challenge his family to win Sherida’s love. An animated coming of age story with a musical look and feel.
