BAFTA-nominated animator Honor Price has directed a stop-motion epic for two songs from the Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men's comeback album.

Price's nine-minute film was created for the two-part album sequence The Block and Mouse Parade from All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, released last October.

The film unfolds as two parallel narratives occupying the same space. Above ground, a solitary mouse-like figure runs endlessly in a cage before tumbling into a vast wilderness. What follows is a relentless climb up a mountainous rock face; a physical and emotional ascent marked by isolation and strain.

As the track transitions into Mouse Parade, the camera descends beneath the floorboards into a hidden underground city. Where the figure above is disconnected and alone, this subterranean community moves as one - tightly bound, resilient, and interdependent.

Honor Price says that she was drawn to the emotional duality in the songs. “I was thrilled to create this two-part film for Of Monsters and Men - building two parallel worlds through stop motion, puppetry, and layered multiplane sets."

Rendered in tactile stop-motion, the film leans into texture, scale, and atmosphere. Humans appear strangely mouse-like, while the puppeted mice feel deeply human, subtly inverting perspective. The result is eerie, intimate and quietly devastating - a meditation on isolation, belonging and the fragile light we carry for one another.

“We were excited to make the bulk of the entire video by hand using traditional handcrafted animation methods," says Price. "Specifically stop-motion, puppetry, and multiplane. By layering real sets on glass and compositing rod puppets into them, we created a fully tactile, dimensional world that we think evokes the themes and emotion of the tracks.”
