Thank you both. "Generously" seems an odd description I agree. I haven't seen the full film but the descriptions I have read make it most appealing. I'm tempted to buy the DVD. (http://www.terry-posters.com/web/search?x=0&y=0&search_field=One+Night+in+the+City)

I really love the full film. There are many stories within that can be seen as individual shorts. This really was one of the better segments.

This was my favourite animated feature film of 2007. It's dark, but it stands out by also being tasteful.

Although by international standards, $700,000 for an animated feature is downright miserly, not generous... also, I think only $100,000 of that came from a government grant in 1998. Variety, though, says "Pic was produced sans state TV coin over six years at a cost of nearly $700,000." The only way of reconciling those two that makes sense to me is that $100,000 was given in 1998 to a short film, then from 2001-2007 they worked on a feature film without state funding. Or Variety could be wrong, I don't know. :p
