Give Up Yer Aul Sins - Birth of John Baptist

This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary, featuring young children telling the story of John the Baptist, The birth of Jesus, the Crucifixion, Saint Patrick and others. Give Up Yer Aul Sins combines simple humour with clever
animation to create films with a timeless quality and appeal to a family audience. Give Up Yer Aul Sins has screened in almost 50 film festivals, including The Galway Film Fleadh (where it won Best Animation), Cork Film Festival (Best Irish and Best International Animation), Cartoons on Bay (Special Award for Original Idea), NewYork Comedy Festival, Boston Irish Film Festival, Aspen Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival.

My son and i really enjoy these short videos. I do not however enjoy that people use these videos to launch attacks on faith. If you do not believe in God or if you hate children or you hate videos shot with a sepia tone just simply do not watch.

Thank you for posting all the shorts they are very sweet.

Bloody hell man just let the people have their own faiths and beliefs. You keep yours and be free with it but don't put other people's down you tiny human-being.

I myself really like these. I am a christian and a glad to be one. I have been taaught these stories all my life by grown-ups and it's really fun to hear them from children. They can remember them better than adults and they tell them the way they remember them. :)

Mudslingers were never loved...and something like this scares the hell out of 'em. Pray for the mudslingers.

lol at the fat mary

Could everyone please quit the mudslinging and just enjoy or comment on the art? And let yourself smile at the wonderful imagination of innocent kids. How you can watch this and only react by saying it's mocking the bible or that people who actually believe these stories are idiots just baffles me.

Oh Dear. Why is it that those with no belief have absolutely no sense of humour? What a mean-minded bunch of miserable no-hopers.

Ah, yes, their lives are meaningless, with no hope. Why bother waking up tomorrow?

I like how robotic she sounds when she said the 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord' part. It was clearly drummed into her haha
