A hardworking family of farmers struggle to feed their hungry animals. The farm is remote and the country around is wild and dangerous.

Show full synopsis

Mark Baker's witty story comments delightfully on the eco-system, with excellent comic timing and an impressive attention to detail, for example the sound effects of a chicken walking across roof slates.

The animation is produced by drawing on cel with wax pencil, giving The Hill Farm the same traditional feel as Baker's previous films.
