It's always great fun to watch animation and cartoons, but thanks to our friends at Flickerpix, especially Johnny he is showing how they made the tale of Da Humbug with stop-motion techniques.

The story of Da Humbug

Join Ella as she tries to share a little Christmas kindness with her grumpy older neighbor Bob, a real bah humbug! Will Bob remember the good times or stay stuck as a Grinch? A grumpy old man who dislikes Christmas receives an unexpected gift that opens his eyes to the true importance of the festive period.

Keep an eye out for Da Humbug on RTÉ2, RTÉjr and the RTÉ Player over Christmas and especially on RTÉ 2 these days - December 21 at 11.25am and December 28 at 11.10am.
