The above short film offers a charming animated account of the life of Alfred Russel Wallace, the under-credited scientist who developed a theory of evolution through natural selection independently of Darwin:

‘The Animated Life of A.R. Wallace’ tells his story with stunning use of paper art and puppetry. The combination of the compelling story, vivid colors and the crafting techniques make this film a standout. You will be delighted with the immaculate attention to detail (tiny paper tables with tiny letters, paintings on the wall, the type of wall paper), a clear and confident narration by Dr. George Beccaloni of the Natural History Museum of London, and a great story that deserves to be told.
