Give Up Yer Aul Sins - Story of Saint Patrick

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.

great work! and the kid telling the story is so sweet! the perfect way to tell the story, simple and effective animation, and from the mouth of a child.

Dude these recordings are nearly 50 years old. They were recorded on basic equipment for non-professional means, its a miracle they survived at all. They only became popular in Ireland many years later when they were re-discovered

the video is awesome, but the sound is terrible. :(
