"The Bell Ringer" is a humorously delightful animated short created in support of those affected by Superstorm Sandy. The animated short tells of the travails of altruistic bell ringer Edith, a sweet old lady who embarks on her holiday mission to raise money for charity in a faraway land on a wintry city sidewalk. The film's ending reveals a knockout surprise for a noble cause. Includes colorful illustrations and the wonderful animated short.

Benigni: A Tale of Solitary Loneliness and Affliction "Benigni" is a dramatic and beautifully conceived animated short that tells the story of Benigni, who is a rather seedy, chain-smoking xylophone player living a solitary existence until he discovers a nasty growth sprouting out of his side. This calls for some drastic pruning, but the tumor is not what it appears to be, taking the story in a totally unexpected direction. Includes illustrations and the animated short film.
