November is C@V Animation Month and up next is
The Iron Giant:
From Brad Bird (the director of The Incredibles and Ratatouille) is 1999’s The Iron Giant, which follows a young boy who befriends a giant robot from outer space that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.
The Iron Giant is arguably a last hurrah for traditional hand-drawn 2D animation from major Hollywood studios (that itself incorporates the then-groundbreaking 3D computer animation). Even Bird himself would soon transition to 3D animation with Pixar shortly after the film’s release, which was seen as a huge financial disappointment at the time. It has since been reclaimed as one of the most astounding works in the medium, just as it had reached its technical peak before being outmoded by the impending domination of the Pixar era. The film is as emotionally riveting as it is technically marvelous and is arguably yet to be surpassed by any Western 2D animated efforts.

Our final session of Animation Month is the iconic masterpiece Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? creates a world where animated “toons” and humans can co-exist -- sometimes in harmony, other times in chaos. When Roger Rabbit is framed for murdering his boss, detective Eddie Valiant steps in to try to clear Roger’s name. Eddie must navigate the streets of Toontown, where gravity and logic are optional. What starts as a simple investigation spirals into an uncovering of a sinister plan that could destroy Toontown for good.
In a monumental achievement of its time, filmmakers used innovative camera work and frame-by-frame animation techniques to make the animated characters interact convincingly with real-life actors, sets, and props.
Rated PG.
