This additive animation transforms into a celluloid animation as the classic children's tale unfolds. The Gingerbread Man is Somersaulter-Moats and Somersaulter's take on the folktale about a gingerbread man who escapes from the couple that baked him for dessert. Drawn by hand, washed in watercolors and complete with sound effects, the film follows the gingerbread man on his (mis)adventures.
