Tim Minchin's "Storm: the Animated Movie"
Performed by Tim Minchin, animated by DC Turner and produced by Tracy King, "Storm" tells the story of Tim's encounter with an alternative medicine supporter at a dinner party.
In the confines of a London dinner party, Tim argues with a hippy named Storm. While Storm herself may not be converted, audiences from London to Sydney have been won over by Tim’s wordplay and the timely message of the piece in a society where science is attacked as the enemy of religion, alternative medicine given credence and public funding, and psychics have prime time TV exposure.
