In Poppy two Kiwi soldiers discover a baby in a muddy WWI trench. For Paddy it will lead to redemption amidst the hell of war. From a David Coyle script — based on his great-grandfather’s war story — Poppy was another successful computer-animation collaboration between producer Paul Swadel and director James Cunningham (Infection, Delf). CGI evokes a bleak Western Front landscape on which the (motion-captured) human drama unfolds. Cunningham spent over 4500 hours making Poppy; the result was acclaim at Siggraph, and invites to Telluride and SXSW festivals.

aw wata cute baby ! very good how those men saved it :)))
very touching...I can't imagine how hard it was for our men who fought for us and then to come across children like poppy who were orphans..God Bless those the men, women and children from that era and to those who may still be alive today.
So good! You instantly feel compassion for the characters.
