What started as a stop-motion class project five years ago has been "re-popped" into a short, animated, over-the-top fantasy in which un-popped popcorn kernel 'Poppy' embarks on a quest to be eaten after falling from the stovetop. Along the way, Poppy meets the long-forgotten Maizie Acre, the spicy Pippa Peppercorn, and the enchanting Candy Kernel who all change Poppy's life forever.
Thanks to my friends Molly, Sydney, Reyna, and Kandra for voicing these ridiculous characters and letting me play with popcorn.
