Give Up Yer Aul Sins

About This Movie

Give Up Yer Aul Sins is a unique piece in the animation genre, offering a fresh perspective on the story of John the Baptist through the eyes of a schoolgirl. The animation style has that charming, slightly raw quality that stands out, almost reminiscent of childhood drawings brought to life. The pacing is brisk, almost frenetic, yet it maintains a light-hearted tone that juxtaposes the serious themes of faith and innocence. Its use of practical effects, combined with a simple yet effective color palette, gives it an endearing aesthetic. The performances—particularly the girl’s spirited narration—inject a whimsical energy that draws you in. It’s an Academy Award® nominee, which speaks to its craft, but really, it’s about how it captures that blend of humor and reverence in storytelling.
