Production
Keane initially said the following when he heard about the possible collaboration: "When I first looked at the phone and saw how small the screen was, I thought this wasn’t going to be for me...I realize now that I was wrong on that."
An interactive version allowed viewers to "follow either character or examine the various settings from various angles depending on how they moved their phones".
Plot
The film is "a hand-drawn, lyrical look at the intertwined lives of a boy and a girl from birth to adulthood".
Critical reception
The film garnered an Annie Award nomination, and is currently short listed for an Academy Award nomination too.

Duet (Lester Bowie and Phillip Wilson album)
Duet is an album by trumpeter Lester Bowie and drummer Phillip Wilson recorded in 1978 and released on the Improvising Artists label. It features three duet performances by Bowie and Wilson
Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "There is a certain static electricity generated in this series of three duets from trumpeter Bowie and drummer/percussionist Wilson. Certainly they feed off each other's energy in counterpointed reverie, but the music goes beyond being merely spontaneous or made up on the spot. The cohesion and musicality they employ is purely delightful and eminently listenable over this 40-minute span".

Hide (skin)
A hide or skin is an animal skin treated for human use. Common commercial hides include leather from cattle and other livestock animals, buckskin, alligator skin and snake skin. All are used for shoes, clothes and other fashion accessories. Leather is also used in upholstery, interior decorating, horse tack and harnesses. Such skins are sometimes still gathered from hunting and processed at a domestic or artisanal level but most leather making is now industrialized and large-scale. Various tannins are used for this purpose.
The term "hide" is sometimes expanded to include furs, which are harvested from various species, including cats, mustelids, and bears.
History
Archaeologists believe that animal hides provided an important source of clothing and shelter for all prehistoric humans and their use continued among non-agricultural societies into modern times. The Inuit, for example, used animal hides for summer tents, waterproof clothes, and kayaks. Various American Indian tribes used hides in the construction of tepees and wigwams, moccasins, and buckskins. They were sometimes used as window coverings. Until the invention of plastic drum heads in the 1950s, animal hides or metal was used.
Hide (Doctor Who)
"Hide" is the ninth episode of the seventh series of the British science-fiction drama Doctor Who, first broadcast on BBC One on 20 April 2013. It was written by Neil Cross and directed by Jamie Payne.
In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman) visit a mansion in the 1970s owned by Professor Alec Palmer (Dougray Scott), which appears to be haunted. Palmer's assistant, Emma Grayling (Jessica Raine), is an empath who is able to connect to the ghost. The Doctor discovers that the ghost is really a time traveller from the future (Kemi-Bo Jacobs) who is trapped in a pocket universe, and he travels there to rescue her. There he discovers a bizarre "Crooked Man" (Aiden Cook), who also seeks to escape the pocket universe and be reunited with its mate in the mansion, who had been the source of much of the mysterious activity in the mansion.
"Hide" was the first contribution to Doctor Who of writer Neil Cross, who was a fan of the show but had never had the time to write an episode. Cross wanted to write a scary episode and was inspired by Nigel Kneale's works The Quatermass Experiment and The Stone Tape. The storyline of "Hide" was kept to a restricted setting and characters, although it was expanded thematically to flesh out the monster with a love story that paralleled that of Professor Palmer and Emma. The first to be filmed for the second half of the series — predating Coleman's introduction as full-time companion in the Christmas special — "Hide" began filming in late May 2012 at Margam Country Park, Gethin Forest, and a National Trust property at Tyntesfield. The episode was watched by 6.61 million viewers in the UK and received generally positive reviews from critics.
