Tales from the Magic Garden is an international stop-motion feature anthology based on the acclaimed children's book Of Unwanted People and Things. Produced across several European countries, the film brings together four independent stories connected by a shared visual universe and a common emotional thread.

Premiered at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival (Generation Kplus), the film was later awarded the Czech Lion Award for Best Animated Feature and nominated for the European Film Awards.

Patricia Ortiz led the Production Design and Art Direction across three of the four stories that compose the feature film, collaborating closely with the international creative teams to shape a coherent artistic vision throughout the production. Alongside this creative role, WoodenMood Studio contributed to the fabrication of puppets, handcrafted scenic elements and physical sets. For The Orphans, the studio was responsible for the complete fabrication of all puppets, props and sets.
