Has anyone seen this? It's on the second disc in the 'Curse of the Were Rabbit' 2-disc edition. It's about an old variety act who falls on hard times with the coming of the movies. It's mainly set in an old theatre. I've never seen it before.

I hadn't seen it before either, but found it on the Were-Rabbit disc as well. I liked it and thought it was very well done, worthy of its "award winning" status. The style of animation translates well into different storytelling methods. It's a cool, little short. It has character.

"Stage Fright" has been published before, on a single DVD
compilation of Aardman's short films entitled "Insideaard".

Stage Fright was made in 1997, directed by Steve Box and
animated by Jason Spencer-Galsworthy, Gary Cureton, Loyd
Price and Dave Osmond.

I think it's a lovely little story, and I'm happy it is
finding a larger audience via "Curse Of The Wererabbit".
