While U2 are currently wowing crowds at the Las Vegas Sphere, singer Bono is also behind another visual treat that is set to hit somewhat smaller screens this week, with the release of new animated short, Peter and the Wolf.
The new take on Sergei Prokofiev’s much-loved symphony features artwork based on original illustrations by the Irish rock band’s frontman, with music and narration by Gavin Friday, the lead singer of cult ’80s band The Virgin Prunes.
The short reimagines Prokofiev’s tale about a young boy who captures a wolf into a piece about loss and grief, with Peter loosely based on Bono’s younger years during the Dublin punk scene in the 1970s. Originally starting life 20 years ago as a book for the Irish Hospice Foundation, the project has now been brought to life as an animation that’s exclusive in the US to Max.
