Time Warp

16th April 2026

Using a time machine built by Cher, we took the audience back to 1230 where Robin Hood joined us, accidentally changing history resulting in killer robots taking over the world. Fortunately the Terminator and Sarah Connor appeared to defeat a dastardly liquid metal T-1000, who demonstrated its ability to shapeshift into a chair, fork and a rainbow.

Lots of time related animated shorts followed, taking us back to the first ever animation from 1908! Then our Quick Quiz and screening of all the "Time Travel" microMorsels animation challenge entries.

Steff Lee took us through the production of her award winning short film "Of All The Things" before Sophie Johnson-Hill showed how she brings children's drawings to life.

With our fuel depleted, Cher arrived from 1989 to recharge us with a power ballad, and what else other than "If I Could Turn Back Time", getting us back to 2026 just in time for...

…Jen Zheng's great talk about her work as a creative director at BUCK, we even got a bit of bonus stand-up from Jen whilst we were getting her laptop connected!

As a Chinese babe in Northern Ireland Jen learned to draw by sketching the same boiled egg for a month because her dad told her “Leonardo Da Vinci did it” - he didn’t. Now she’s found a career where that behaviour's normal, Animation. She’s hatched into a Queer, BAFTA nominated, Sundance screened, Associate Creative Director at BUCK.

On the side she is an award-winning Stand-up Comedian, occasional drag performer and erotica zine publisher.
