This is a parable written by Oscar Wilde that was brought to life using traditional animation,
though the style of the artwork is far from traditional.
The story is so well done and music so enchanting.

The story is about a selfish giant who returns to his castle after a seven years
absence. He find children playing in his garden and chases them away and puts
a sign up saying "no trespassing". Oddly, while the countryside eventually
changes with the passing seasons, the garden remains winter due to there
being no joy there. How this changes and what happens to the giant is just
something you'll have to see for yourself.

This animated short was nominated for an Oscar.
