Hey guys! Homework time.
We’re all fans of animation. I’m curious though: what’s your favorite piece of animation? That one bit, be it long and involved, short and sweet, elaborate or subtle, that inspires you.
Let me know, and I’ll post the most insightful responses. It’s fun to see what other people like, and to be reminded of work you’d forgotten about. This kind of discussion is not only interesting, but can help us all understand animation a bit better.
I know this is technically claymation, but I loved at the end of The Corpse Bride when (SPOLIERS!) Emily ascends to heaven by symbolically turning into a flock of butterflies. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful and meaningful things I’ve ever seen animated.
Also, my mother, who has a degree in illustration, recently showed me a very old video of a half-hour-long animation that looks like it could have been done all in crayons and colored pencil about a man living in the aftermath of war-torn France who plants trees and flowers in the devastated land and reaps his reward decades later, when the entire area has been brought back to life and is flourishing due to the efforts of that one lonely man. It’s extremely artistic, and I wish I could remember the name of it, but I’m not sure anyone else knows about it. :(
