Tito is a shy 10-year-old boy who lives with his mother. An unusual epidemic starts to spread, making people sick whenever they get scared and Tito quickly discovers that the cure is somehow related to his missing father’s research on bird song. With the help of two friends, he embarks on a journey to save the world.

Tito and the Birds offers beautifully detailed animation with its delicate brushstrokes and tells a moving story about the paralyzing power of fear.

Ages 8-12
