About me:




The Mantis Parable is the charming tale of a humble caterpillar trapped in a bug collector's jar and in need of a helping hand. The film has captivated audiences around the world with its stunning beauty and heartfelt message that resonates with children and adults alike.

"Artful and engaging...a skillful, thought-provoking, densely packed work with world class animation."
-Michael Medved, Film Critic and Talk Show Host

"The Mantis Parable equals the best work that Pixar has ever done. Superb filmmaking. Subtle, transformative, and animated with an incredible attention to detail. It is excellent. MOVIEGUIDE®'s highest commendation"
-Dr. Ted Baehr, Founder/Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®

"Luminous...a visual stunner, a you-are-there tour of the inside of a household world we're all too big to ever visit."
-Animation World Magazine
