The animated short film The Amautalik is adapted from an Inuit folktale that has been shared by the Caribou Inuit from the Canadian Arctic for countless generations. A neglected orphan and a kind little girl encounter one of the most dangerous land spirits from Inuit folktales—the Amautalik. This huge creature wanders the tundra, looking for children or lone travellers. When the Amautalik finds the two children far away from the safety of their camp, she is certain of her prize. But she didn’t count on the little orphan’s quick-thinking response.
Based on the best selling book. Stop-motion animation.
