Animation
Adapted and directed by Marc Craste, Varmints is a 24-minute film based on the award-winning book of the same name by Helen Ward and illustrated by Craste, that tells the story of one small creature's struggle to preserve a world in danger of being lost forever through recklessness and indifference. A crew of 35 people worked in three countries over a two year period to make the film, and an original score by Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson and sound design by Adrian Rhodes complete the picture.

Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, en una lejanísima ciénaga vivía un intratable ogro llamado Shrek. Pero de repente, un día, su absoluta soledad se ve interrumpida por una invasión de sorprendentes personajes de cuento. Hay ratoncitos ciegos en su comida, un enorme y malísimo lobo en su cama, tres cerditos sin hogar y otros muchos seres increíbles que han sido deportados de su reino por el malvado Lord Farquaad. Para conseguir salvar su terreno, y de paso a sí mismo, Shrek hace un pacto con Farquaad y emprende viaje para conseguir que la preciosa princesa Fiona sea la novia del Lord. En tan importante misión le acompañan un burro chistoso, dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa por Shrek. Todo, menos estarse calladito. Rescatar a la princesa de una dragona enamoradiza que suelta fuego al respirar va a resultar una tontería comparado con lo que ocurre cuando el oscuro secreto que la joven guardaba es revelado.
