Me and My Moulton is a 2014 Canadian-Norwegian animated short film written and directed by Torill Kove.[1] It premiered at the 2014 Annecy International Animated Film Festival on 10 June 2014.[2] It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 87th Academy Awards.[3] Me and My Moulton won the Golden Sheaf Award for Best Animation at the 2015 Yorkton Film Festival.[4]
Me and My Moulton is a humorous autobiographical short film based on Kove's experiences as a 7-year-old girl in Norway. She is one of three sisters who long for a bicycle. The film explores the emotions of Kove’s character, who is often embarrassed by her unorthodox architect parents.[5]
Kove, in a Toronto Star article, stated that the story had been on her mind for years. Her goal was to convey a girl’s conflicting feelings about her parents: "These feelings are not easy for kids. It’s confusing when you don’t have all the insights that you get later in life to realize your parents embarrass you but at the same time you really love them. There are mixed emotions."[5]
