Unwaith eto, mae Theatr y Torch, Aberdaugleddau yn croesawu Gŵyl Animeiddio Caerdydd wrth iddi deithio ar draws Cymru. Bydd ei hymweliad cyntaf yma yn Sir Benfro ddiwedd mis Tachwedd a gyda rhaglen deithiol newydd sbon yn cynnwys ffilmiau byr animeiddiedig anarferol a doniol a wnaed yng Nghymru, mae selogion y byd ffilm mewn am drît go iawn.

Mae Gŵyl Animeiddio Caerdydd (CAF) yn cynnwys ffilmiau byr wedi’u hanimeiddio a gynhyrchwyd gan wneuthurwyr ffilm Cymraeg neu o Gymru, gan gynnwys sesiynau Cwestiwn ac Ateb wedi’u recordio gyda’r gwneuthurwyr ffilm eu hunain. Bydd hyn yn rhoi cyfle i’r gynulleidfa fynd y tu ôl i’r llenni a dysgu sut y gwnaed y ffilmiau, gydag addasrwydd oedran 15+!

​Mae’r ffilmiau byr sydd ar daith eleni yn amrywio’n fawr ac yn cynnig rhywbeth at bob chwaeth o’r iasol i’r doniol iawn. Mae 100,000 Acres of Pine yn gweld y Ceidwad Megan Patel yn datgelu dirgelwch marwolaeth ei brawd. Ond yn dilyn ei olion traed, mae Megan yn darganfod tywyllwch na alla ddianc. Mae Druids, a gyfarwyddir gan Shwan Nosratpour yn teithio’n ôl trwy niwloedd dirgel amser ar antur gyda thri derwydd gwirion, gwiwer ddireidus a chyw iâr seicedelig wrth iddyn nhw geisio adfer cydbwysedd byd natur ar ôl i ddigwyddiad astrolegol rhyfedd fygwth newid eu byd am byth.

Ffilm fer am lysiau’n dawnsio yw Yas Greens… wedi ei gwneud mewn 48 awr ar gyfer Raffl Sydyn Caerdydd! Bydd y rheiny sy’n caru anifeiliaid wrth eu bodd yn gwylio Pawesome, But Weird! wedi ei chyfarwyddo gan Nayomi Hewa. Mae’r ffilm ddi-stori hon yn ffocysu ar bum cath unigryw, sy’n ymddwyn yn eu byd bach eu hunain. Dilyna Clowning Around clown sy’n breuddwydio am fod yn berfformiwr syrcas, ond yn fuan dysga bod ymarfer yn creu perffeithrwydd ac mae Hide, ffilm saith munud yn gweld dau frawd yn chwarae cuddio. Mae un ohonyn nhw’n dod o hyd i’r lle cuddio perffaith… a byth yn dod allan. Cyfarwyddwyd The Hounds of Annwn gan Bethan Hughes a Bryony Evans ac mae’n adrodd hanes rhyfelwr clwyfedig yn dychwelyd i’w bentref ond yn cael ei hela gan becyn o gŵn dirgel. Ar ôl mynd ar drywydd enbyd, rhaid iddo wynebu ei orffennol er mwyn dod o hyd i heddwch yn eu dyfodol. Comedi cynllwyn am greision yw Spectre of the Bear, gyda Craig Roberts a Bill Nighy yn serennu.

Mae Blooming yn ffilm animeiddio stop-symudiad sy’n defnyddio golygfa-blastr cnawdol i wahodd y gwyliwr i edrych ar y byd o olwg planhigyn. Mae’r ffilm chwareus hon yn ddathliad o awydd a phleser. A’r ffilm olaf yw Marmalade is Missing ac mae’n gweld Margo Monroe fel seren y sioe. Mae hi’n fawr a hi sy’n rheoli. Ar wahân i’r un gwendid, mae ei chath sinsir, Marmalêd, ac mae Marmalêd ar goll!

Once again, the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven, welcomes the Cardiff Animation Festival as it tours across Wales. Its first stop will be here in Pembrokeshire at the end of November and, with a brand-new touring programme featuring unusual and hilarious animated short films made in Wales, film enthusiasts are in for a treat.

The festival includes animated short films produced by Welsh or Wales-based filmmakers, as well as recorded and captioned Question and Answer sessions with the filmmakers.

The short films on tour this year offer something for all tastes from the eerie to the funny.

100,000 Acres of Pine sees Ranger Megan Patel uncover the mystery surrounding her brother’s death. But following his footsteps, Megan discovers a darkness she might not escape.

Druids, directed by Shwan Nosratpour journeys back through the mysterious mists of time on an adventure with three bungling druids, a mischievous squirrel and a psychedelic chicken as they try to restore the balance of nature after a bizarre event threatens to change their world forever.

Yas Greens is a short film about dancing vegetables… made in 48 hours for Cardiff Quick Draw.

Animal lovers will be delighted to watch Pawesome, But Weird! directed by Nayomi Hewa. This non-story-driven film focuses on five cats.

Clowning Around follows a clown who dreams of being a circus performer, but soon learns that practice makes perfect, and Hide, a seven minute film sees two brothers playing hide and seek. One of them finds the perfect hiding spot… and never comes out.

The Hounds of Annwn directed by Bethan Hughes and Bryony Evans tells the story of a wounded warrior returning to his village only to be hunted by a pack of mysterious dogs. After a desperate pursuit, he must confront his past to find peace in the future. Spectre of the Bear is a conspiracy comedy about crisps, starring Craig Roberts and Bill Nighy.

Blooming is a stop-motion animation film that invites the viewer to look at the world from a plant’s-eye view.

And the final film is Marmalade is Missing and sees Margo Monroe as the star of the show. She is large and in charge – all apart from her one weakness, her big, fluffy, cheeky, ginger tom cat Marmalade. And Marmalade is missing…
