Directed by Chris Atkinson

Logline: Do we take TIME for the important things in life - maybe we should!

Synopsis: We all know a tree takes water and nutrients from the earth, and energy from the sun. What's wrong with that? Mr. Treemendous reasons with children (and adults too), that it is okay to take some things! Like taking time to encourage others, taking time to stay clean, taking time to learn and taking time to be yourself. Singing a number of original songs from various genres, Mr. Treemendous and his lovable animal friends laugh, giggle and learn how to take time for the good things in life!

Director's Statement: “What to Take" is our first short film release and was inspired for me (sadly) by the pace of which time has been going by for me and my family these past few years. How many of us say that we “just don't have time for this and that" or “I wish I had more time"? Well I guess I just wanted to say to our youth (and adults too), that it is okay - slow down and take time! If our musical cartoon movie can inspire others to take more time with their friends and family, then I believe it has been well worth the time, sweat and tears it has taken for us to produce our cartoon.
