FlatWorld is a publisher of college-level textbooks and educational supplements. The company was founded in 2007 as Flat World Knowledge by Eric Frank and Jeff Shelstad.
Flatworld is a 1997 animated short directed by Daniel Greaves and produced by Nigel Pay and Patrick Veale. The film was created using a combination of cardboard cut-outs and traditional cel animation. It premiered on 18 July 1997 on the Locomotion channel, which broadcast the film alongside The Making of Flatworld, a documentary in which the personnel involved showed how the film was made through a series of interviews. The film was nominated for a BAFTA Awards for "Film – Short Animation" and was the winner of more than thirty international awards, including the Mclaren Award for Best Animation. ==Summary== The film follows Matt Phlatt alongside his pet cat Geoff and pet fish Chips where a freak electrical accident causes the story to flip between two worlds: Flatworld, a city made of paper and cardboard where every character is "flat" in a 3D world, and Flipside, a universe animated like various cartoon formats. The accident also releases a 1930s gangster from the TV film world into the real one, causing chaos after Matt is mistaken for the criminal after a bank robbery. ==References== ==External links== Flatworld at the British Film Institute Flatworld on YouTube
