Mind Me Good Now!
| Canada | 9 MINUTES | EnglishAnimation
Tina and Dalby are two Caribbean children who disobey their mother by straying too far from home. As a result, they encounter a cocoya: an evil spirit that eats little boys. But thanks to Tina's quick thinking, the children are able to outwit the cocoya and return home to mama. Vibrantly animated, Mind Me Good Now! is rooted in a long lineage of Trinidadian storytellers, whose tales have always had a built-in moral compass to guide children.
