Produced by Strange Beast, director Andy Martin has created an uplifting new animation called ‘Returning to School’ for the charity Pediatric Brain Tumour Foundation with agency RPA. ‘Returning to School’ is part of a series of 20 films, with each spot addressing real fears young people face during treatment.

The characters were inspired by drawings from real cancer survivors, from talking lockers to a two-headed dragon as teacher Mrs Headley, crafting an intimate and personal narrative to explore the difficulties facing young people during treatment.
