“Scared of the Dark” is a film about fear and nightmares. It's the opening film of Anima 2008, the 27th Brussels Animation Film Festival.

Anima is a festival that had modest beginnings, but that grew into one of the most important animation film festivals says veteran animator Raoul Servais.

The festival in the Flagey Arts Centre in Brussels attracts more and more people, even from abroad.

This year's festival is screening two of the five animation films selected for the Oscars including the UK's Peter and the Wolf.

Digitalisation, 3D computer-animation, it has become routine in the world of animation.

The opening film of the children's festival is the Belgo-Swiss co-production “Max and Co”.

It's no mean feat using 150 different puppets.
