Children often grow up and then leave home and come back several times before they are really on their own. Leaving Home by Dutch animator Joost Lieuwma illustrates this in the story of Richard, who gamely tries to fledge the nest but is drawn back by forces out of his control. The tale is both funny and bittersweet. (via

Nice find! Interesting to see also how the Dutch portray stereotypes of the distant and self-absorbed father, and the nurturing mother who ends up doing all the work.
