The Surreal Animation of Fantastic Planet
By Andrew Jupin, Senior Programmer Whenever possible, I love to highlight the great work that’s been done—or is being done—in the world of, let’s call it “not for kids” animation. I think the movie-going public tends to associate animated films with things being made with younger audiences in mind, and rightfully so. How many animated [...]
