Give Up Yer Aul Sins - Making Blind See

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.

I find it so sad to read some of these comments. I guess it's true that nowadays people are to uptight about everything. Can no one just enjoy these videos for what they are? The lovely, innocent stories told by children. They're nostalgic! Why must people get so angry and insulted by something that wasn't meant to be brain-washing or overly religious. And people should stop spouting ignorant bull-shit on youtube! If you think you're a philosopher, do yourself a favor and write a fucking book!

Isn't the Dublin accent wonderful! Love this clip. Where is the innocence gone?

The children are adorable, but the teacher seems really caring and sweet too... hope everyone is ok nowadays...

@jrm33lover well since she's from Dublin its "Tha' way"!! (most of my family is from Dublin and I don't mean to sound rude)

[jrm33lover]

These are a riot! I can really appreciate these stories. I love how everybody says, "Yeah", and the looks on the king's face as the blind guy goes on, and on, and on............ Love the idea, and the imagination. Reminds me of the Ardman Studios stop-action video about the animals at the zoo, with kids doing the talking. "Sundays in New York" , I think. Won an Oscar.
