Do you know who lives below wishing wells? In this short animation, we find out that beneath each well lives a small creature. A mythical granter of wishes.
This Wishgranter is quite apathetic but when a wish for love becomes stuck in the well mechanism then the Wishgranter springs into action. Although not everything goes to plan, all is well in the end!
